Fado das Queixas [English translation]

Why do you complain about me

If I am so

You are as well

A boat lost at sea

That tosses about

With the tides?

You already knew

That I tend to wail

From the same jealousy

That I always nursed

You already knew

That I truly loved;

Also who you were,

I confess, I do not know!

I do not know who you are

Nor do I even want to know.

I was wrong, perhaps

But what can I do?

This passion that will never end,

-Pure illusion!

-Nobody knows where it is!

Of the two, say it

Who suffered more!

Say it, the rest I know!

Why would I complain as well

About your contempt

That burned me

If it was I to complain about it anyway

Of a thunderstorm

That has already passed?

Do not tally

The expressed grievances

And how many promises

Let's remain silent!

Do not tally

The mouths laughing

And how many might

Complain about us!

I do not know who you are

Nor do I even want to know.

I was wrong, perhaps

But what can I do?

This passion that will never end,

-Pure illusion!

-Nobody knows where it is!

Of the two, say it

Who suffered more!

Say it, the rest I know!

I do not know who you are

Nor do I even want to know.

I was wrong, perhaps

But what can I do?

This passion that will never end,

-Pure illusion!

-Nobody knows where it is!

Of the two, say it

Who suffered more!

Say it, the rest I know!
