I Said Goodbye to You and Died

Amália Rodrigues

Disse-te Adeus E Morri

Disse-te adeus e morri
E o cais vazio de ti
Aceitou novas marés
Gritos de búzios perdidos
Roubaram dos meus sentidos
A gaivota que tu és
Gaivota de asas paradas
Que não sente as madrugadas
E acorda à noite a chorar
Gaivota que faz o ninho
Porque perdeu o caminho
Onde aprendeu a sonhar

Preso no ventre do mar
O meu triste respirar
Sofre a invenção das horas
Pois na ausência que deixaste
Meu amor como ficaste
Meu amor como demoras

I Said Goodbye to You and Died

I said goodbye to you and died
And the dock empty of you
Accepted new tides
Cries of lost conches
Stole from my senses
The seagull that you are
Seagull with still wings
That doesn't feel the early mornings
And wakes up at night crying
Seagull that builds its nest
Because it lost the way
Where it learned to dream

Imprisoned in the womb of the sea
My sad breathing
Suffers the invention of hours
For in the absence you left
My love how did you stay
My love why do you delay
