Não Digas Mal Dele [English translation]

He was bad, I'll not lie, false, evil, vile and cruel,

But I don't consent that you speak ill of him near me

You are vulgar, it's not forgiveable, it's not decent

To speak ill of a person who is absent

No, I'll not tolerate it and I don't want to return to that scene

The pain that still hurts me, it was nothing to do with you

No, I'll not tolerate it, unless you are sorry

For being like he was, for my larger punishment

All evil like a castle made of sand

You owe me the dignity not to bring it to my mind

Now it's to late for censorship, as you well know

May God guard him from misadventures, and us as well
