O velho e a flor [English translation]

I walked for heavens and seas

I saw a poet and I saw a king

Hoping to know what love is

No one could tell me

And I already wanted to die

When an old man with a flower said this

Love is the affection

It is the thorn that is not seen in every flower

It is life when

You bleed

From having opened the petals of love

• Artist:Vinicius de Moraes
