Lyrics and translation Carlos do Carmo - Pontas Soltas

Pontas Soltas

Dizem que já não me queres
Que hána tua vida
E que é dele que tu gostas;
São as línguas das mulheres
Que vinham lamber-me a ferida
Se me virasses as costas

Se eu não levo isso a peito
Nem olho para a desdita
Como coisa que se veja
Tu tens de perder o jeito
De ser sempre a mais bonita
E despertar tanta inveja

Dizem que já me enganaste
Soprando no meu ouvido
Fados de rara beleza
Não sei se me atraiçoaste
Mas eu senti-me traído
Mesmo sem ter a certeza

Nada disto acontecia
Se desses as tuas voltas
Sempre sempre ao meu redor
Tens de perder a mania
De deixar as pontas soltas
Na história do nosso amor

Loose Ends

They say that you no longer want me
That there's someone else in your life
And that you love him;
Women's tongues have been wagging
They came to lick my wound
If you turned your back on me

But I don't take it to heart
And what others say doesn't matter
As if it were something to see
You have to lose your way
To always be the most beautiful
And arouse so much envy

They say that you have deceived me
Whispering in my ear
Rarely beautiful fados
I don't know if you betrayed me
But I felt betrayed
Even without being sure

None of this would have happened
If you had been true to yourself
Always always around me
You have to lose the habit
Of leaving loose ends
In the story of our love
