Língua — En_GB

Translated by: Lourenço Ramos

I ask

For your favourite word

In your favourite language

Your mother-tongue, that guides and embraces you

You mention concepts such as love and phenomena such as rain

And laugh when I try to pronounce them

"Estou a tentar, é difícil", I say, in Portuguese,

what unites us today, but can also separate us

I don't know whether I am making myself clear

I hope I am

That the smiles in response

Be genuine, even if only halfway

Half word by half word

Our dialogue is complete

And my favourite word

Will always be the next one you say.
