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
