Asas Fechadas
Amália Rodrigues
Closed Wings
Closed wings
Are tiredness or fall
Thrown stone
Or flight that rests
Oh, my smile, surrender to me
And my gaze does not dare...
Closed wings
Say two meanings
Both the same
And vertical verses
In your smile I only sense
A deeper suffering...
Closed wings
Descends who climbed
To seek the earth
Is to have faith up in the sky
In the indecisive smiles
Another dream was born...
Closed wings
Dream or despair
Period
Or ascension without equal
In these smiles I wait
For not knowing how to cry...
The silence is prudent
Of those who only know how to dream...
