On The Avenues (Nas Avenidas)

On the lonely avenues
I'm just another fool
Deceived by the love I created
Fantasies I fantasized

Such beautiful dreams I dreamed
But I didn't find my beloved
I walk down the street counting my steps
Walking through my entanglements

Dreams and desires that don't come true
The days pass and night falls again
I think of God, I say a prayer
To ease my heart
That without direction
Walks again

Illusion was my enemy
Imagination and desire my punishment
I myself confused my reality
And today, lost, I seek shelter

I walk down the avenues
Counting my steps
Walking through my entanglements

On the lonely avenues
I'm just another fool
Deceived by the love I created
Fantasies I fantasized
I dreamed such beautiful dreams
But I didn't find my beloved

I walk down the street counting my steps
Walking in my entanglements
Dreams and desires that don't come true
The days pass and night falls again

I think of God
I say a prayer
To ease my heart
Which, without direction
Is walking again

Illusion was my enemy
Imagination and desire my punishment
I myself confused my reality
And today, lost
I seek shelter

I walk down the avenues
Counting my steps
Walking in my entanglements
