A Chave da Minha Porta [English translation]
A Chave da Minha Porta [English translation]
I saw you at St. Johns (feast)
So started our flirtation
I gave you my heart
In exchange for a sprig of basil
Our love began
At the dance on my street
By the time St. Peters (feast) came around
You were mine and I was yours
I waited for you
As is the duty of one who loves
You'd come home late
I'd go to bed early
To deceive myself
That hope was dead in me
I'd leave the key waiting
Underneath my door
I'd leave the key peeking
Underneath my door
Time passed and at another dance
You always the playboy
Went after another shawl
And arranged another love
I became mad with jealousy
Because I know this passion
Will never rekindle the fire
For the heart to forget
I wait for you
As is the fate of one who loves
You no longer come home
But I still go to bed early
To deceive myself
That in me hope is dead
I leave the key waiting
Underneath my door
I leave the key waiting
Underneath my door
To deceive myself
That in me hope is dead
I leave the key waiting
Underneath my door
