Partindo-se [English translation]

Lord, they leave so sad

My eyes for thou, my dear!

That never such sadness have you seen

In any one else and for no one!

They leave so sad, the sad ones,

So sad and so wistful!

So sick for the departure,

So tired (logy) and so tearful!

Desiring death much more,

One hundred thousand times more than life!

They leave so sad the sad ones,

Far removed from expecting good!

That never such sadness have you seen

In any one else and for no one!

• Artist:Amália Rodrigues
