Os teus olhos são dois círios [English translation]

//Your eyes are two candles

Giving sad light to my visage//

//Marked by the martyrdoms

Of saudade1 and of heartbreak//

//When I hear beating Trinities

And the evening already draws to its end//

//I ask for your saudades

An Our Father for me//

//But you don't know how to make prayers

You don't have saudade nor weeping//

//Why is it that you annoy me

Why is it that I want you so badly//

//You are for my despair

As the clouds roam up high//

//Every day I wait for you

Every day you fail me//
