Romance

On a late night, knock, knockPor noite velha, truz, truz
Someone knocked on my doorBateram à minha porta
Where are you from, oh my soulDonde vens, ó minha alma
I come almost dead, for sureVenho morta quase morta

I barely recognized herJá eu mal a conhecia
She looked so different, you seeDe tão mudada que vinha
She brought her wings all brokenTrazia todas quebradas
Like a swallow, so carefreeSuas asas de andorinha

I told her to prepare dinnerMandei-lhe fazer a ceia
The best feast that I could findDo melhor manjar que havia
Where are you from, oh my darlingDe onde vens, ó minha amada
I hardly know you, never mindQue já mal te conhecia

But my silent soul just watchedMas a minh’alma calada
And didn’t say a single thingOlhava e não respondia
In her beautiful eyes, I sawE nos seus formosos olhos
So many sorrows they bringQuantas tristezas havia

I told her to make the bedMandei-lhe fazer a cama
With the finest sheets I hadDa melhor roupa que tinha
On top, a purple damaskPor cima, damasco roxo
Underneath, a soft fine padPor baixo, cambraia fina

Sleep, sleep, oh my soulDorme, dorme, ó minha alma
Sleep, and to rock you, I’ll singDorme e para te embalar
My lips are singing softlyA boca me está cantando
With a longing to weep and cling.Com vontade de chorar
