Perseguição [English translation]

If from me, you are gaining nothing


I do not know why you are persecuting me


Constantly on the street!


You know that I am married


That I am always dedicated


And that I can not be yours!

Just because you are rich and elegant


You want me to be your lover


By whim or presumption?


Ah, I have a poor husband


Who has a noble soul


And it is all my passion!

I tore up the letters without reading them,


And never wanted to receive them


The jewellery or flowers that you brought!


I do not sell myself, nor give myself to anyone


Because I have given everything that I am


To a love that you don't know!
