Ela e Sua Janela [English translation]

She and her girl

She and her stockinet

She and her window, peeking

With so many maidens nearby

In the street her beloved

Is certainly dancing

From her window

She wonders

Where he must be going

And she will, perhaps

Go out once

To the balcony

She and her stove

She and her heat

She and her window, waiting

With so little money

Maybe her beloved

Is still gambling?

From her window

A hazy star

And a piece of moon

And she will, perhaps

Go out one more time

To the street

She and her punishment

She and her distress

She and her window, wanting

With so many old friends

Her beloved in a bar

Is certainly drinking

But another tanned man

Beckons a new wave of hand

And a fake oath

And she will, perhaps

Live once for all

The life
