Praga

I know the world is whisperingEu sei que o mundo murmura
And talking without a clue;E fala sem ter razão;
About my life full of sorrowDo meu viver de amargura
Because I gave with tendernessPorque lhe dei com ternura
My poor heart to you.O meu pobre coração

One day, I saw him passUm dia, vi-o passar
In a certain neighborhood bar;Em certo bairro fadista
I got caught in his gazeFiquei presa ao seu olhar
And let myself be enchantedE deixei-me enfeitiçar
Just like that, at first sight.Assim á primeira vista

Like a fool, I went to him to tell him how I felt;Qual louca, fui ter com ele pra dizer-lhe o que sentia
I said I liked him,Disse que gostava dele
And he, with a cruel look,E ele, com ar cruel
Answered that he didn’t want me.Respondeu que não me queria

I raised my eyes to the skiesErgui os olhos aos céus
And cursed him right then;E uma praga lhe roguei
And with faith, I asked GodE com fé pedi a Deus
To blind his eyesPra cegar os olhos seus
Like love has blinded me.Como de amor eu ceguei
