Diagonal
Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Minha amada é miragem do deserto!
Sempre foi e sempre será uma miragem!
Perdida a sensação de que está perto
não consigo esquecer a sua imagem.

Querê-la é ter o coração aberto às ilusões
que ferem e que reagem...
Como às mãos descuidadas, descoberto,
se rebela um vespeiro na folhagem.

Mas tentar esquecê-lo não me atrevo,
ela foi pra mim o bem, o enlevo
que restou da distante mocidade

Hoje ela vive além.
Muito distante.
Sem saber pelo menos que constante
seus olhos me acompanham na saudade.
