Nem às paredes confesso [English translation]

Don’t wish to love me (don’t think of loving me)

Without me asking you to

Don’t even give me anything which in the end

I don’t deserve

Then see if you can find

Blame / regret on my face

This is sincere (I really mean this)

Because I do not want

To give you reason to be offended/ (feel pain)

The one I love

Not even to the walls will I confess

And I even bet

That I love nobody.

You can smile

You can lie

You can even cry (about the fact that)

The one that I love;

Not even to the walls will I confess

Who knows if I have forgotten you

(Or whether) if I want you

Who knows even if it’s you

That I am waiting for?

Whether I love or not, (in the end)

Is my business

Even if you think

That you can convince me

I (shall) tell you nothing

(the name of) the one I love

Not even to the walls (will I) confess

And I even bet

That I love nobody
