The Rosebush

Pé da Roseira

The rosebush has wiltedO pé da roseira murchou
And the flowers fell to the groundE as flores caíram no chão
When she cried, I said:Quando ela chorava, eu dizia:
"You're right, Maria"Tá certo, Maria
You have a point"Você tem razão"
When she cried, I said:Quando ela chorava, eu dizia:
"You're right, Maria"Tá certo, Maria
You have a point"Você tem razão"

Maria cried, I ran awayMaria chorava, eu fugia
With nothing more to saySem ter nada mais pra dizer
Love was over and MariaO amor terminado e Maria
Saw me leaving, not knowing whyMe via partindo, sem saber por quê

She saw me leaving and criedMe via partindo e chorava
She loved me and couldn't believeMe amava e não podia crer
That the world was taking me awayQue o mundo afinal me levava
And nothing made sense to herE nada lhe dava o jeito de entender

I didn't understand eitherEu também não compreendia
Why love had to endPorque terminava um amor
Not even if love was endingNem mesmo se o amor terminava
I just knew I was walkingSó sei que eu andava
And felt no painE não sentia dor

I remember at the door of the houseMe lembro na porta da casa
Inside, Maria was cryingLá dentro Maria chorava
Then, walking aloneDepois, caminhando sozinho
I remembered the circle my dad used to singLembrei da ciranda que meu pai cantava
Then, walking aloneDepois, caminhando sozinho
I remembered the circle my dad used to singLembrei da ciranda que meu pai cantava

The rosebush has wiltedO pé da roseira murchou
And the flowers fell to the groundE as flores caíram no chão
When she cried, I said:Quando ela chorava, eu dizia:
"You're right, Maria"Tá certo, Maria
You have a point"Você tem razão"
When she cried, I said:Quando ela chorava, eu dizia:
"You're right, Maria"Tá certo, Maria
You have a point"Você tem razão"
