Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Há tempos que a vi

For a while, I saw her

Que eu a conheci

That I met her

Ela era linda um primor de amor

She was beautiful, a perfection of love

Misto de estrela e de flor

A mix of star and flower


Mas também sofreu

But she also suffered

Eu sei vou contar

I know, I'll tell

Pois li naqueles olhos

Because I read in those eyes

Cansados de chorar

Tired of crying


E tarde ao chegar

And late to arrive

Nos trens um a um

In the trains, one by one

Ela viu desembarcar

She saw disembark

Um estranho tentador

A strange tempter


E branca a cismar

And white, lost in thought

Num sonho de amor

In a dream of love

Ficou logo apaixonada

She quickly fell in love

Do mancebo tentador

With the tempting young man


Mas essa flor

But this flower

Não sentiu florir o amor

Did not feel the love bloom

Nunca o sentiu florir

Never felt it bloom

Porque ele teve que partir

Because he had to leave


Viu embarcar

She saw embark

Como um dia após o amar

Like one day after loving him

E nunca mais, sentiu o puro amor

And never again felt the pure love

Do jovem tentador

Of the young tempter
