Futuros Amantes [English translation]

No, don’t hurry

Nothing is for right now

Love has no hurry

It can wait in silence

Back in the closet

In the general delivery

For millions and millions of years

In the air

And who knows, by then

Rio will be

Some submerged city

The divers will come

To explore your home

Your room, your stuff

Your soul, garrets

Elders in vain

Will try to decipher

The echo of ancient words

Fragments of letters, poems

Lies, portraits

Traces of an alien civilization

No, don’t hurry

Nothing is for right now

Love will always be lovable

Future lovers, perhaps

Will love without knowing

With the love that I once

Have left for you
