Above all, to my love I'll be attentive First and always, with care and so much That even when facing the greatest enchantment By love be more enchanted my thoughts. . I want to live it through in each vain moment And in its honor I'll spread my song And laugh my laughter and cry my tears When you are sad or when you are content. . And thus, when later comes looking for me Who knows, the death, anxiety of the living, Who knows, the loneliness, end of all lovers . I'll be able to say to myself of the love (I had): Be not immortal, since it is flame But be infinite while it lasts. http://oldpoetry.com/oauthor/show/Vinicius_de_Moraes
