Nada de Nada
Amaral
Nothing at All
The foam of the sea,
A grain of salt or sand.
A strand of hair,
An ownerless hand,
A moment of fear,
A lost note,
An empty word in a poem,
A morning light
That's how small I am,
Nothing at all.
Nothing of you, nothing of me,
I'm a breeze without air,
Nothing of anyone.
A snowflake,
A raining rain,
A thought,
A slightly open abyss,
A silent word,
A sorry,
A step without a trace,
I'm a path with no destination,
A faded star
That's how small I am,
Nothing at all.
Nothing of you, nothing of me,
I'm a breeze without air,
Nothing of anyone.
A breath of life,
A truth that's a lie,
A winter sun,
An hour in your night,
A silence of goodbyes,
Unintentionally,
A second in your dream,
I'm a step climbing your stairs,
A drop without water,
That's how small I am,
Nothing at all.
Nothing of you, nothing of me,
I'm a breeze without air,
Nothing of anyone.
