You are the man with whom she is today
And I'm the one who she left to be with you
Do me a favor and then I'll leave you in peace
Give her all the good things life has
Because the woman that today is yours is for me
And she'll always be the reason of my life
That's why, and since she didn't want me
I ask you from the bottom of my soul1
Take good care of her
Look after her
Give her love, give her everything I know I didn't give her
Take good care of her
Look after her
And if that's how it is, I'm happier because I know she's fine
It's so hard to ask to a rival
A crazy request like this one
I'm only doing this because I don't want to see her feeling down
And because deep within me I know that she deserves that
I only ask of you a last favor
Not as friends, because we aren't friend, but because of God
Don't let her know, in anyway it is possible, about this talk you and I had
Take good care of her
Look after her
Give her love, give her everything I know I didn't give her
Take good care of her
Look after her
And if that's how it is, I'm happier because I know she's fine (x3)
1. Here, 'do meu ser' would be literally translated 'of my being', but it wouldn't make much sense
