Essa Pequena [English translation]

My time is short, she has left over time

My hair is gray, hers is pumpkin-colored

I'm afraid our soap opera won't last much

But I'm so happy with her

My day flies and she won't wake up

I walk to the corner and she wants to go to Florida

I think I can't even understand what she talks about

But I can't stop contemplating her

Like a Scrooge, I count my minutes

Each second that goes by

Taking care of her, who's in a different world

She who gives her hours away, oh

Sometimes she paints her lips and goes out

Don't mind me, I say, take your time

I feel I'll still suffer for that little one

But the blues is already worth it
