Queixa [English translation]

Such a delicate love

And you scorn it

You shouldn't have aroused it

You knee, but do not pray

That kind of thing that scares

For its greatness

I am not the only one to blame

Of that I am sure

Princess, surprise, you wrecked me

Serpent, can't even feel that you've poisoned me

Lady, and now, tell me where to go

Lady, serpent, princess

Such a violent love

When it becomes hurt

It is the reverse of a feeling

Ocean with no water

Waves, desires of revenge

Of this un-nature

Beat hard without hope

Against your harshness

Princess, surprise, you wrecked me

Serpent, can't even feel you've poisoned me

Lady, what now, tell me where do I go

Lady, serpent, princess

Such a delicate love

No man would give you

Maybe it was a sin

Betting on happiness

You think I have everything

And empty you leave me

But God doesn't want me to remain silent

And I call out this complaint

Princess, surprise, you wrecked me

Serpent, you can't even feel you've poisoned me

Lady, tell me where do I go

Friend, tell me...
