Erros Meus [English translation]

My mistakes, bad fortune, ardente love

came together for my perdition;

the mistakes and fortune remain,

of which love for me would be sufficient.

All I went through; but feel so present

a great pain of things passed,

which my wounded anger taught me,

I no longer ever want to be happy.

I erred throughout all my years;

I gave cause for fortune to punish me

my ill founded hopes.

Of love I only saw brief deceit.

Oh! if only I could satiate

this my hard temper of vengeance!

• Artist:Amália Rodrigues
