It's a poem written by a famous poet in my State. Mário Quintana lived from 1906 to 1994. He was known as the poet of the simple things. I hope you enjoy the poem I chose. I found it so... cute!

BILHETE

Mario Quintana

Se tu me amas,
ama-me baixinho.

Não o grites de cima dos telhados,
deixa em paz os passarinhos.

Deixa em paz a mim!

Se me queres,
enfim,

tem de ser bem devagarinho,
amada,

que a vida é breve,
e o amor
mais breve ainda.

LOVE NOTE
(Translated by John D.Godinho)

If you really love me,
whisper it to me.
Don't shout it from the
rooftops,
Let the birds in peace
And let me be.

If you really want me,
be slow and easy, love,
if you will.
Because life is brief
and love is briefer
still…
