I'm waiting for my man

I'm waiting for my man

A Poem by Sunny
"

People are not always free to love.

"
Estou esperando pelo meu homem,
A ansiedade me consome,
Uma multidão de pessoas me congratulam,
Mas nada que me comforte.

Minha vida era uma guerra,
Até eu te conhecer,
Ela ganhou razão,
E eu um motivo para a viver.

Um hospital foi onde minha vida parecia ter acabado,
Por feridas e doenças acabado,
Mas quando entrei no hospital que te vi:
Tudo parecia ter recomeçado.


Seus olhos brilhavam,
Seu sorriso era mais valioso:
Mais que uma mina de ouro,
E eu senti-me alegre quando nossas mãos se encontraram.

Os anos passaram,
E nós os passamos todos juntos,
Por estudos em vermelho
e em signos que se apresentaram.

Oh, meu querido, querido amigo,
Que eu almejo por chamar de mais,
Nunca desejei nada além,
E também nunca mereci mais.

Mas agora me encontro em um altar,
Com alguém que não desejo,
E me pergunta se não é:
Isso mesmo que eu mereço.

Estou esperando meu homem.
Suas mãos firmes e finas puxarem as minhas,
E me salvarem dessa minha mania.


Estou esperando pelo meu homem.

---- translated into english:


I'm waiting for my man,
Anxiety consumes me,
A crowd of people congratulates me,
But nothing brings me comfort.

My life was a war,
Until I met you,
It gained meaning,
And I, a reason to live.

A hospital was where my life seemed to have ended,
Finished by wounds and illness,
But when I entered that hospital and saw you:
Everything seemed to start again.

Your eyes were shining,
Your smile was more precious:
More than a gold mine,
And I felt joy when our hands met.

The years passed,
And we spent them all together,
Through studies written in red
And signs that revealed themselves.

Oh, my dear, dear friend,
Whom I long to call something more,
I never wished for anything else,
And never deserved anything more.

But now I find myself at an altar,
With someone I do not desire,
And I’m asked if this is not:
Exactly what I deserve.

I'm waiting for my man.
For his strong and slender hands to pull mine,
And save me from this madness of mine.

I'm waiting for my man
