Fado do Cobarde [English translation]

You open the door and head out

Without even a goodbye

My dear, don't run away now

The time is coming

For me to return to your side

You leave the key at the door

In a vase of flowers for you

And in this last move

You see that upon leaving home

You shan't have a way back to me

I know, if the night takes with it the day

There won't be any sun left to see

I know that you're not coming back

And I, made a coward

Shan't move on

But instead, shall wait for you

You leave pain in my voice

It grows so hoarse with grief

And all these verses about us

Are now just another poem

To read one day

Should we become grandparents

I mutter softly in the ear

Of whomever wishes to hear

My dream is to end up with you

And if one day I succeed

I swear that you'll never

Run away from me again

I know, if the night takes with it the day

There won't be any sun left to see

I know that you're not coming back

And I, made a coward

Shan't move on

But instead, shall wait for you
