Santa Helena [English translation]

He left on Wednesday

It's Friday now and he still didn't came back

It's been so long

Since I last saw you

It's the light of half past six

In the night

The stars' shine

and you still didn't return

I ran trough Festa de largo*

Put a charm on my wrist* and I prayed

I got high hopes

But I didn't saw you

Oh, St. Helen

Oh, St. Helen

He left on wednesday

With kisses of love

He left uncertainties

In a colorless note

I putted on a shelf*

My pride and my conscience

I saw a rezadeira*

I followed my gut

And still no one, no one

Oh, St. Helen

Oh, St. Helen

He left on Wednesday, on Wednesday

With kisses of love

He left uncertainties

In a colorless note

I putted on a shelf

My pride and my conscience

I saw a rezadeira*

I followed my gut

And still no one, no one

Oh, St. Helen

It's the light of half past six

In the night

The stars' shine

and you still didn't return

I putted on a shelf

My pride and my conscience

I saw a rezadeira*

I followed my gut

And no one, no one , no one, no one

Oh, St. Helen

Oh, St. Helen

Oh, St. Helen

Oh, St. Helen

My love waited for you

It's the light of half past six

The stars' shine

and you still didn't return

Oh, St. Helen
