Opinions
Lovely nicknames
My father was called Antonio
But he was “Tote” in his whole life
He was “Tote” above all
My mother was named Maria José
And she was always “Zezé”
Now my uncle José was “Ieié”
Delfina was “Tusa”
Conceição, “Soe”
Ana was “Nana”
Maria, “Ia”
Geraldo was “Iado”
João, “Dão”
Joaquim, “Finfa”.
All of them are gone with their names
Life goes by
People pass
The names go by
Eternal are the nicknames.
