The love of old
Made a dent in us
But it was good to live
How many pants I tore
And knees I've grazed
My love, just to see you
I still remember the serenade
In the rain of a silver floor
From a fado that I improvised
Your father almost killed me
With a cheap guitar
That I bought at so much cost
The stairs forbidden
I scrambled up the balconies
Threw some pebbles
With my heart in my mouth
And a crazier will
I missed you so much
There were nights in the open
From the wall to the window
Waiting for a signal from you
And later with time
A candle light dinner
Of this love that didn't die
And if you see two old men
With tiffs and pats
They already know your grace
They are people of old
Of the loves that are forever
With each passing day.
