Dois namorados [English translation]

When nothing indicated

that the life I led

would change as fast as that

For I was older than the old people in the park.

When the days didn't pass

and I only talked about my health

I saw you on the street, I recognised you

from the time of our youth

You had not married

and you did not have anyone

and you said you were happy like that

That the only woman

that you had truly loved

but who already had a soulmate -

it was me

And we slept together

two lovers

with no no time to lose

White hair entangled,

feet intertwined

no longer afraid to fall asleep

And I who believed

that life only gives us

a love like that just once

I give you a tight hug

and we go arm in arm

So everyone can see what life has done for us.

And we slept together

two lovers

with no no time to lose

White hair entangled,

feet intertwined

no longer afraid to fall asleep

no longer afraid to fall asleep
