Arrow Amor é fogo (Love on Fire) by Luís Vaz de Camões

"Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver;
É ferida que dói e não se sente;
É um contentamento descontente;
É dor que desatina sem doer;

É um não querer mais que bem querer;
É solitário andar por entre a gente;
É nunca contentar-se de contente;
É cuidar que se ganha em se perder;

É querer estar preso por vontade;
É servir a quem vence, o vencedor;
É ter com quem nos mata lealdade.

Mas como causar pode seu favor
Nos corações humanos amizade,
Se tão contrário a si é o mesmo Amor?"

Translation to English (keep in mind that poetry once translated looses some of its natural charm):

"Love is fire that burns without being seen;
Is a wound that hurts and does not feel;
It is an unhappy contentment;
It's pain without hurting;

It is not wanting more than a will;
A lonely walk among us;
It is never be content with glee;
It's something that we win when we lose;

It's wanting to be trapped by will;
It's to serve who wins, the winner;
It's having with someone who kills you loyalty.

But how can its favor cause
Friendship in human hearts,
If it is so contrary to itself?"
