Não Sei Porque te Foste Embora [English translation]

I don't know why you left.

I don't know what harm I did, What does it matter,

I just know the day runs and at that hour,

don't know why you don't come knocking at my door.

I don't know if you like some one else now,

If I am or not already dead to you.

don't know, don't know and I'm not interested,

It just doesn't leave my head

it doesn't see that I have forgotten you.

I don't know, don't know what this is

I don't like and can't resist

don't want you yet I think of you.

I don't want this my wanting in my bosom,

don't want to wait for you I'll not wait.

I don't want your counterfeit love,

nor do I want you to know that I want you.

After this my wanting is despersed,

don't want your love even if sincere.

Don't ever want to encounter you,

nor hear you nor speak with you,

nor feel your warmth.

Because I don't want you to see

that this love you don't desire

only desires your love.

• Artist:Amália Rodrigues
