Morrinha [English translation]

Ai, dreams, weeping, rivers, well, body

Of the lilies and wild mint!

A dream dying, water rushing

That in my thirst you drank

On my bed a sheet of linen

That today is like me, alone

It's whiteness, my tenderness

They are my madness, my thorn

In my loneliness, That is only mine

In my loneliness, alone

Sadness in a bud that I guard in my hand

Growing, growing, morrinha

• Artist:Amália Rodrigues
