Sonnet of Total Love

I love you so much, my love... don't sing
Or human heart with more truth ...
I love you as a friend and as a lover
Numa always diverse realities

I love-you enfim, of a calm love present,
E I love you além, present na saudade.
I love you, enfim, with great freedom
Inside gives eternity and every moment.

I love you like a bug, simply
Of um love sem mistério e sem virtude
As a solid and permanent wish.

I love you very much and amiúde,
What a day in your body suddenly
Hei de morrer de amor as much as I could.
