Mascarada
Vejo agora esse seu lindo olhar
Olhar que eu sonhei
E sonhei conquistar
E que um dia afinal conquistei, enfim
Findou-se o carnaval
E só nos carnavais
Encontrava-te sem
Encontrar esse seu lindo olhar, porque
O poeta era eu
Cujas rimas eram compostas
Na esperança de que
Tirasses essa máscara
Que sempre me fez mal
Mal que findou só
Depois do carnaval
Masquerade
I see now that beautiful look of yours
A look that I dreamed of
And dreamed of conquering
And that one day I finally conquered, after all
The carnival has ended
And only in carnivals
I found you without
Finding that beautiful look of yours, because
The poet was me
Whose rhymes were composed
Hoping that
You would take off that mask
That always hurt me
Hurt that only ended
After the carnival
