O Cais Distante [English translation]

The Far-Away Pier

What doom or luck carries me away this way

As if all days were the same for me

On the far-away pier I'm always waiting

I lost the nights in the sea, but without catching sight of you

They don't last longer than a chimera

I crossed deserts, but I didn't see you

Fields, enclosures, uncertain rails I lost myself among the piers

Where I wandered with the sky in the background

I lived deceptions and ravings in the bleak and cold oceans

I only found the salt of the world

In your absence it consumes me not knowing whether or not you'll ever return

And you know all to well how the hours of longing feel like daggers

But it is never late to call you

In the sea, wandering, where you go
