I'M Making a Song by Carlos Drummond de Andrade

I'm making a song where my mother and all mothers will see themselves mirrored, a song that speaks like two eyes.

I'm walking on a road that runs through many countries.

They may not see me, but I see and salute old friends.

I'm spreading a secret like a man who loves or smiles.

Affection seeks affection in the most natural way.

My life, our lives, form a single diamond.

I've learned new words and made others more beautiful.

I'm making a song for waking up me nand putting children to sleep.
