| Quisera então saber toda a verdade
| I would then like to know the whole truth
|
| De um chapéu na rua encontrado
| From a hat on the street found
|
| Trazendo a esse dia uma saudade
| Bringing this day a longing
|
| D´algum segredo antigo e apagado
| Of some old and erased secret
|
| Sentado junto à porta desse encontro
| Sitting by the door of this meeting
|
| Ficando sem saber a quem falar
| Not knowing who to talk to
|
| Parado sem saber qual era o ponto
| Stopped without knowing what the point was
|
| Em que devia então eu começar
| So, what should I start with?
|
| Parada na varanda estava ela a meditar
| Standing on the balcony she was meditating
|
| Quem sabe se na chuva, no sol, no vento ou mar
| Who knows if in the rain, in the sun, in the wind or in the sea
|
| E eu ali parado perdi-me a delirar
| And I standing there, I lost delirious
|
| Se aquela beleza era meu segredo a desvendar
| If that beauty was my secret to unravel
|
| Porém apagou-se a incerteza
| However, the uncertainty was erased
|
| Eram traços de beleza os seus olhos a brilhar
| There were traces of beauty her eyes shining
|
| E vendo que outro olhar em frente havia
| And seeing that another look ahead there was
|
| Só não via quem não queria da paixão ouvir falar
| I just didn't see who didn't want to hear about the passion
|
| Um dia entre a memória e o esquecimento
| A day between memory and forgetfulness
|
| Colhi aquele chapéu envelhecido
| I picked that aged hat
|
| Soltei o pó antigo entregue ao vento
| I released the old dust delivered to the wind
|
| Lembrando aquele sorriso prometido
| Remembering that promised smile
|
| As abas tinham vincos mal traçados
| The flaps had poorly traced creases
|
| Marcados pelas penas ressequidas
| Marked by the withered feathers
|
| As curvas eram restos enfeitados
| The curves were decorated remains
|
| De um corte de paixões então vividas | From a cut of passions then lived |
