FAITHFUL COMPANION
José Araujo de Souza
This longing, love,
is a faithful companion in solitude
of my nights, when you’re not.
This longing, love,
take care of me at your command,
so that I don’t forget
of you, when you are not.
This longing, love,
I love you as I love you,
when you’re not.
Ah, love,
if there was no homesickness,
with me, when you are not,
I would die, for sure,
desperate and lonely.
