Acho Inúteis as Palavras [English translation]

I believe the words to be useless

When the silence is greater

I believe the words to be useless

When the silence is greater

My gestures are useless

So that they could speak to you of love

My gestures are useless

So that they could speak to you of love

I believe the smiles to be useless

When the night seeks us out

My lamentations are useless

To speak to you of tenderness

I believe our mouths to be useless

When the sin returns

I believe our mouths to be useless

When the sin returns

My eyes are useless

To speak to you of the past

I believe our bodies to be useless

When the desire is a certainty

I believe our bodies to be useless

When the desire is a certainty

My hands are useless

In that hour of purity

My hands are useless

In that hour of purity

• Artist:Amália Rodrigues
