Dizem Que os Homens Não Devem Chorar [English translation]

When I lost you

I wasn’t able to understand your ingratitude,

so I stayed alone,

not coming to terms with my solitude.

My wounded soul and my lost life!

I just stumbled.

All my friends kept on telling me:

“You’d better stop”.

They say a man shouldn’t cry

for a woman who doesn’t love him,

but as I was unable

to hold back my tears,

I closed my eyes

and started to weep.

I tried to forget the memory

of hearing your last goodbye and leaving me

and this way I became a prisoner

of my sad dream…
