In your abandoned garden, sunlight still
prevails:
The jasmine climbs the trellis
fragrantly, the 
jacaranda ultravioletly
sways.
The blossom. each of them by your hand
planted,
Will, even if I tell them of your
sudden
Disappearance from us, 
Not believe
the tale.

Though the samba has ended, I
know in the sound
Of your voice, your piano,
your flute, you are found,
And the music
within you continues to flow
Sadly, lost
Antonio.

You were my inspiration, my hero,
my friend;
On the highway of time will I meet
you again?
If the heart ever heals, does the
scar always show
For the lost Antonio?
For
the lost Antonio?

In your abandoned
garden, beauty is unchanged:
The hummingbird
still hovers for the scent the
frangipane so
seductively displays.
Camellias, each of them
by your hand planted,
The sadness of your
sudden disappearance still 
unknown to
them,
Await the kiss of rain.

Though
the samba has ended, I know in the sound
Of
your voice, your piano, your flute, you are
found,
And the music within you continues to
flow
Sadly, lost Antonio.

You were my
inspiration, my hero, my friend;
On the
highway of time will I meet you again?
If the
heart ever heals, does the scar always
show
For the lost Antonio?
For the lost
Antonio?
