Pontas Soltas Lyrics Translation in English

Dizem que já não me queres

They say you no longer want me

Que há outro na tua vida

That there's another in your life

E que é dele que tu gostas

And that it's him you love

São as línguas das mulheres

It's just the tongues of women

Que vinham lamber-me a ferida

Who came to lick my wound

Se me virasses as costas

If you were to turn your back on me

Se eu não levo isso a peito

If I don't take it to heart

Nem olho para a desdita

Nor look at it as a misfortune

Como coisa que se veja

As something visible

Tu tens de perder o jeito

You have to lose the knack

De ser sempre a mais bonita

Of always being the most beautiful

E despertar tanta inveja

And arousing so much envy

Dizem que já me enganaste

They say you've deceived me

Soprando no meu ouvido

Whispering in my ear

Fados de rara beleza

Fados of rare beauty

Não sei se me atraiçoaste

I don't know if you betrayed me

Mas eu senti-me traído

But I felt betrayed

Mesmo sem ter a certeza

Even without being certain

Nada disto acontecia

None of this would happen

Se desses as tuas voltas

If you stayed close by

Sempre sempre ao meu redor

Always always around me

Tens de perder a mania

You have to lose the habit

De deixar as pontas soltas

Of leaving loose ends

Na história do nosso amor

In the story of our love
