Lyrics and translation Maria Teresa de Noronha - Desengano

Desengano

E adorei-te e acreditei
No bem que eu ambicionei
Dum amor sinceridade; (bis)
As tuas promessas puras
E o calor das duas juras
Tinham a luz da verdade (bis)

Mas um dia te esqueceste
De tudo o que me disseste
Em confissões tão ardentes (bis)
Iludiste duas vidas
Com mil palavras fingidas
Que não sentiste nem sentes (bis)

Ao contemplar o passado
Como um golpe já fechado
Que ainda sinto doer (bis)
Vejo em teus falsos carinhos
Que as rosas têm espinhos
E também fazem sofrer (bis)

Heartbreak

And I adored you and I believed
In the love to which I aspired
With all sincerity. (bis)
Your promises were pure
And the warmth of our two oaths
Had the light of truth. (bis)

But one day you forgot
All that you had said to me
In confessions so ardent. (bis)
You fooled two lives
With a thousand feigned words
Which you neither felt nor feel. (bis)

As I consider the past
Like a blow now closed
Which I still feel smarting. (bis)
I see in your false affections
That roses have thorns
And can also make one suffer. (bis)
