Lyrics and translation Agostinho Dos Santos - Espera

Espera

O relógio bateu nove horas
Eu ainda esperava por ela
Deu dez horas, bateu novamente
E eu ainda esperando, esperando
Esperando bater lá na porta
Calada, fechada, o alô costumeiro
O sorriso brejeiro do bem que não veio
A lua sumiu, o sol despontou
Por entre fumaça, meu sono chegou
Sonhei coisas lindas, sonhei que ela veio
E eu descansava feliz, feliz em seu seio
Foi então que acordei assustado
E confesso, de mim tive dó
Compreendi que já era outro dia
Meu sonho terminara e eu estava só
Meu sonho terminara e eu estava só

Wait

The clock struck nine
I was still waiting for her
Ten o'clock came, it struck again
And I was still waiting, waiting
Waiting to knock on the door
Silent, closed, the usual hello
The mischievous smile of the good that didn't come
The moon disappeared, the sun rose
Through the haze, my sleep came
I dreamed beautiful things, I dreamed she came
And I rested happily, happily in her bosom
That's when I woke up scared
And I confess, I felt sorry for myself
I understood that it was already another day
My dream was over and I was alone
My dream was over and I was alone
