Verse 2: Portuguese lyrics


Now, he's gone away
And I'm alone A insensatez
With the mem'ry of his last look Que voc&fez
Vague and drawn and sad Corapio mais sem cuidado
I see it still Fez chorar de d5r
All his heartbreak in that last look 0 seu am&
How, he must have asked Um amBr tdo delicado
Could I just turn Ah! Porque vocP
And stare in icy silence? Foi fraco assim
What was I to do? Assim trio desalmado
What can one do Ah! Meu cora@o
When a love affair is over? Que nunca amou
Nrio merece ser amado
Vai meu C0ra~d0
Ouve a razdo
Usa sd sinceridade
Quem semeia vento
Diz a razdo
Colhe tempestade
Vai meu corap?io
Pede perddo
Perddo apaixonado
Vai porque
Quem ndo
Pede perddo
Nrio e' nunca perdoado.
