Sabe-se lá [English translation]

Lord only knows why I'm going under now.

Don't refuse your esteem for me

Because every bucket in the noria,

When the wheel goes around,

Will always be turned and overturned.

No one has a right to laugh at us

when the bad fortune strikes us.

And if God doesn't watch over us,

No other wheel can be wilder

Than the wheel of misfortune

Lord only knows,

When one's fortune is good or bad.

Lord only knows,

What tomorrow will bring us.

In the blink of an eye,

A honest and honored life is undone.

No one will never know when begins

What a person is meant to live

• Artist:Amália Rodrigues
