Nem às paredes confesso [English translation]

Do not wish to love me

Before I ask you to

Nor give me anything that somehow

I do not deserve

Try to find, then

any sight of regret on my face

This is sincere

because I do not want

to disappoint you

The one I love

Not even to walls

I dare to confess

And I can even bet that

I do not like anyone

You may laugh

You may lie

You may even cry

But the one I love

Not even to walls I confess

Who knows if I forgot you

Or if I want you

Who knows if it's you indeed

that I wait for

If I like you or not

This is my affair, anyway

Even if you think

That you do convice me

Nothing I will say

• Artist:Amália Rodrigues
