O Portão

I arrived in front of the gate
My dog smiled at me barking
I put my bags on the ground
I came back

Everything was the same as before
Hardly anything had changed
I think only I changed
And I came back

I came back now to stay
Because here, here is my place
I came back for the things I left
I came back

I opened the door slowly
But let the light in first
I illuminated all my past
And entered

My picture still on the wall
Somewhat yellowed by time
As if asking where I've been
And I spoke

Where I've been, I couldn't stay
Because here, here is my place
I came back for the things I left
I came back

Without knowing after so long
If there was someone waiting for me
I walked with hesitant steps
And stopped

When I saw that two open arms
Hugged me as before
I wanted to say so much and didn't
And I cried

I came back now to stay
Because here, here is my place
I came back for the things I left
I came back
I came back now to stay
Because here, here is my place
I came back for the things I left
I came back
I stopped in front of the gate
My dog smiled at me barking
