Ausencia (Dejaré que muera en mí el deseo) de Vinícius de Moraes - en español

foto por Milan Popovic / unplash

Dejaré que muera en mí el deseo

de amar tus ojos dulces,

porque nada te podré dar sino la pena

de verme eternamente exhausto.

No obstante, tu presencia es algo

como la luz y la vida.

Siento que en mi gesto está tu gesto

y en mi voz tu voz.

No quiero tenerte porque en mi ser

todo estará terminado.

Sólo quiero que surjas en mí

como la fe en los desesperados,

para que yo pueda llevar una gota de rocío

en esta tierra maldita

que se quedó en mi carne

como un estigma del pasado.

Me quedaré… tu te irás,

apoyarás tu rostro en otro rostro,

tus dedos enlazarán otros dedos

y te desplegarás en la madrugada,

pero no sabrás que fui yo quien te logró,

porque yo fui el amigo más íntimo de la noche,

porque apoyé mi rostro en el rostro de la noche

y escuché tus palabras amorosas,

porque mis dedos enlazaron los dedos

en la niebla suspendidos en el espacio

y acerqué a mí la misteriosa esencia

de tu abandono desordenado.

Me quedaré solo como los veleros

en los puertos silenciosos.

Pero te poseeré más que nadie

porque podré irme

y todos los lamentos del mar,

del viento, del cielo, de las aves,

de las estrellas, serán tu voz presente,

tu voz ausente, tu voz sosegada.

The Girl From Ipanema - Antônio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes


Tall and tan and young and lovely

The girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes, each one she passes

Goes "A-a-a-h"

When she walks she's like a samba

When she walks, she's like a samba

That swings so cool and sways so gentle

That when she passes, each one she passes

Goes "A-a-a-h"

Oh, but I watch her so sadly

How can I tell her I love her

Yes, I would give my heart gladly

But each day as she walks to the sea

She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely

The girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes, I smile, but she

Doesn't see. She just doesn't see

No, she just doesn't

Story behind the lyrics of the song

The song was inspired by Heloísa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto (now known as Helô Pinheiro), a seventeen-year-old girl who lived on Rua Montenegro in Ipanema. Every day, she passed by the bar-cafe Veloso on her way to the beach. Sometimes she would go into the bar to buy cigarettes for her mother. In the winter of 1962, the composers saw the girl pass by the bar and, inspired by her, composed the song.

For forty nights, Tom Jobim, Moraes and João Gilberto performed at the Au Bon Gourmet nightclub. Despite not receiving a fee, Vinicius released five songs during his performance, including "Girl from Ipanema".[33] In the presentation, the singing of the song began with a dialogue between the three:

João: — “Tom, what if you made a song now that could tell us, tell us what love is?”

Tom: — “Look, Joãozinho, I wouldn’t have known without Vinicius writing the poetry.”

Vinicius: — “For this song to come true, I wish I had João to sing!”

João: — “Ah, but who am I? Better if we sing the three.”

Poem / Poema - Sonnet of Fidelity ( Soneto da Fidelidade )

Sonnet of Fidelity / Vinicius de Moraes

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):

But be infinite while it lasts.

Soneto de Fidelidade / Vinicius de Moraes

De tudo, ao meu amor serei atento

Antes, e com tal zelo, e sempre, e tanto

Que mesmo em face do maior encanto

Dele se encante mais meu pensamento


Quero vivê-lo em cada vão momento

E em seu louvor hei de espalhar meu canto

E rir meu riso e derramar meu pranto

Ao seu pesar ou seu contentamento


E assim, quanto mais tarde me procure

Quem sabe a morte, angústia de quem vive

Quem sabe a solidão, fim de quem ama


Eu possa me dizer do amor (que tive):

Que não seja imortal, posto que é chama

Mas que seja infinito enquanto dure.
