Resposta da Rita [English translation]

I didn't take your smile with me

Because I always had mine

If you have nothing to say

Then it's not my fault

I didn't pluck anything from your chest

You're always the same, you make such a drama

Your portrait, your rag, your plate

I'll give it back right away, whatever

I build my tavern

Without asking anyone to borrow me money

The image of St. Francis

And that nice CD is there on the balcony

I didn't kill our love as a vengeance

And I left a samba as a heritage as well

Your violin was never the good you talk about

And if today it's silent, for me it's OK

I didn't take your smile with me

(Rita took my smile with her)

Because I always had mine

(And I talk about her smile)

If you have nothing to say

(She took with her all that belongs to me)

Then it's not my fault

(She plucked it from my chest, and there's more)

I didn't pluck anything from your chest

(She took your portrait, your rag, your plate)

You're always the same, you make such a drama

(What a shame)

Your portrait, your rag, your plate

(An image of St. Francis and a good Noel1 vinyl)

I'll give it back right away, whatever

(Rita destroyed my love as a vengeance)

I build my tavern

(You didn't leave any heritage)

Without asking anyone to borrow me money

(You didn't borrow any money from me)

The image of St. Francis

(Because I didn't have any)

And that nice CD is there on the balcony

(But you caused havoc as you left)

I didn't destroy our love as a vengeance

(You took with you my plans, my poor mistakes, my twenty years of age and my heart)

And I left a samba as a heritage as well

(And besides everything)

Your violin was never the good you talk about

(You made my violin silent)

And if today it's silent, for me it's OK
