Ronda [English translation]

At night I patrol the city

Seeking you, without finding

In the midst of glances I spy

In all bars

You are not

I go back home, down

Disenchanted with life

A dream gives me joy

There, you are

Ah! If I had

Anyone who cherished me

This someone would tell me

Give up, this quest is useless

I wouldn't give up

However, with perfect patience

I keep looking for you

I shall find

Drinking with other women

Rolling a dice

Playing billiard

And on that day, then

It will be on the first edition

Blood scene in a bar

At São João Avenue

Ah! If I had

Anyone who cherished me

This someone would tell me

Give up, this quest is useless

I wouldn't give up

But, with perfect patience

I keep looking for you

I shall find

Drinking with other women

Rolling a dice

Playing billiard

And on that day, then

It will be on the first edition

Blood scene in a bar

At São João avenue
