Sardinheiras [English translation]

One day he followed me

To the street where I lived

He complimented me, ran from me

And the next that there he was

I threw him from the window

Of my attic

A scarlet geranium

That he became more flushed

Then I never saw him any more

Nor his looks

Time passed to discover

That he lived in Alfama

One night without thinking

I put on my shawl and scarf

And I went after that look

The left me in suspense

Today I live where he lives

Today I sleep where he sleeps

And there is a sun inside and out

Of my enormous happiness
