I keep imaginingFico a imaginar
Your way of being a womanTeu jeito de ser mulher
You smiled, talked, played, sangSorrias, falavas, brincavas, cantavas
You danced thinking of JosephDançavas pensando em José
I can glimpse youPosso te vislumbrar
Almost can seeQuase consigo ver
You dreamed, prayed, sangSonhavas, oravas, cantavas
And the days passed immersed in your faithE os dias passavas imersa em tua fé

With the neighbors and friendsCom as vizinhas e amigas
You sang songs from those timesCantavas cantigas dos tempos de então
And if one of them spokeE se uma delas falava
Of the love that lived in your heartDo amor que morava no teu coração
I'm sure, Maria, that you didn't hideTenho certeza, Maria, que não escondias
Your feelingsOs teus sentimentos
For that carpentryPr'aquela carpintaria
Your thoughts quickly ranDepressa corriam os teus pensamentos
