By seeing your golden eyes
And that kind of pureness
In an hour without caution
Sadness was born within me
And then it happened, that I felt
In my soul another pain
Oh, maybe because I saw you
Love was born within me
You went away and I am sorrow
I am madness and anxiety
More sorrowful in that moment
Longing was born within me
My dream burned instantly
Your eyes were my fire
In that distant hour
Jealousy was born within me
The day became colder
Stranger and more hurt
And in the dark night
This fado was born within me
