Текст и перевод песни Miguel Araújo - Desdita

Desdita

Ouvi da minha desdita
Certo dia em que eu passei
Numa ruela tão estreita
Que onde fica eu já nem sei
Calhou de estar à janela
Nesse dia, aquela hora
A criatura tão bela
Que naquela casa mora
Delicada de cintura
E com setas no olhar
Ao ver a minha figura
Sorriu e mandou-me entrar
Nesse dia à mesma hora
Não chegou pelo jantar
O fiador da cidade
E lá o foram procurar
Veio dar à beira rio
Sem roupas, sem cor, desfeito
Com as vergonhas de fora
E três facadas no peito
Por nunca ter um tostão
Fui o principal suspeito
Fizeram de mim o vilão
Naquele golpe perfeito
Logo de manhãzinha
Ao juiz eu fui chamado
E qual não foi o meu espanto
Eu já lá tinha estado
Era aquela tal ruela
Estreita como a minha sorte
Sem ter ninguém à janela
Desta vez bati à porta
Sem nada que desculpasse
Obra que eu não assinei
Fosse qual fosse o desfecho
Eu nada tinha contra a Lei
E o meu álibi ficou preso
No nó da minha garganta
Sei que se põe à janela
E se houver Sol ainda canta

Desdita

I heard about my misfortune
One day as I passed by
In a narrow alleyway
That I can no longer find
She happened to be at the window
That day, at that hour
The creature so beautiful
Who lives in that house
Slender of waist
And with arrows in her eyes
Upon seeing my figure
She smiled and invited me in
That day at the same hour
He failed to show up for dinner
The city's guarantor
And they went looking for him
He turned up on the riverbank
Without clothes, without color, disfigured
His shame exposed
And three stab wounds in his chest
For never having a penny
I was the prime suspect
They made a villain of me
In that perfect crime
Early in the morning
I was summoned by the judge
And what was my astonishment
I had already been there
It was that very alleyway
Narrow like my fate
With no one at the window
This time, I knocked on the door
Without any kind of excuse
A crime I did not commit
Whatever the outcome
I had nothing against the Law
And my alibi was caught
In the knot in my throat
I know that she sits at the window
And if it's sunny, she even sings
