Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Há tempos que a vi

Long ago, I saw her

Que eu a conheci

When I met her

Ela era linda

She was beautiful

Um primor de amor

A refinement of love

Misto de estrela e de flor

A mix of star and flower


Mas também sofreu, eu sei vou contar

But she also suffered, I know, I'll tell

Pois li naqueles olhos, cansados de chorar

Because I read in those eyes, tired of crying

E tarde, ao chegar, os trens um a um

And late, upon arrival, the trains one by one


Ela viu desembarcar um estranho tentador, e Branca a

She saw a stranger tempter disembark, and Branca

Cismar, num sonho de amor

Dream, in a dream of love

Ficou logo apaixonada do mancebo tentador!

She fell in love with the tempting young man!

Mas, essa flor, não sentiu florir o amor

But this flower did not feel the love bloom


Nunca o sentiu florir porque ele teve que partir

Never felt it bloom because he had to leave

Viu-o embarcar como um dia, após o amar e nunca mais

She saw him embark like one day, after loving him and never again

Sentiu seu puro amor, do jovem tentador!

Did she feel his pure love, from the young tempter!
