CERTAIN THAT YOU COME BACK , song (confused love) by Sebastião Alba

Also Read

 

Certain that you will return, song,

at an uncertain time,

I wait like someone who lives

alone, for the visitation.

I know, through signs and angels and strays,

that desolate dreams blossom

into flowers on the ground.

Just flowers, no nimbuses on the buttonhole.

Flowers for the table,

with the scent

of water, wine and bread.

Just flowers and you,

my nameless love,

and our double hunger

for a naked boy.
