At night, when i dream

At night, when I dream,
I see you like this: a perfect boy…
And it is in that condition
You run from me,
As son as I wake up…

That image so distant and vague,
Which I can never catch,
It’s you my dream, my angel…

And now I am up,
I look at you quietly,
Lying in my bed…

But why?
Why do I see you so clearly,
Right there in my bed,
If I can’t touch or smell you?

When the thought of you was vague,
A simple idea, a simple wish,
A modest flash of light of that beautiful star up in the sky,
So uncertain, so wonderful,
In the vast firmament;
When it was only a fantasy, a vain dream,
It was easier…

I know it was only dreaming, but at least I lived happy…
It’s true I didn’t know the pleasure of the touch of your lips,
But I also didn’t know the suffering, the pain of being so far away from you….from your lips, your touch…

I love you more than i can ever say,
But being so far away…it kills me…
And I know it kills you too….
But this is life, and if I have to dream with you for the rest of my life,
To kiss you just once a year,
Than I’ll do it!…
Cause you’re everything to me,
Cause I live to be with you,
Cause without you I’m nothing….

Amo-te como nunca amei e jamais amarei...

Da para sempre vossa,
