I met him on the tenth of May

On a visit to Miradaire

'It's João'

Announced a friend of mine

He was a sporty type

Smiling, polite

He made a point of greeting me at the school entrance

He asked in his awkward way

'Tonight at eight, will you stop by the pavilion?'

That's how

I found myself

In a little corner of the concrete stands

Alone waiting for the end of the class

Of swimming

As soon as he landed a good job

And I finished my degree

He offered me an engagement ring

We settled in the city

A couple with two boys

For one year of work

Twenty days in the Algarve

And one night, hopeful, he remembered

'It'd be great if the kids could already swim this summer'

That's how I found myself

In a little corner of the concrete stands

Alone waiting for the end

Of the swimming class

Fifteen years and a day married

We signed the papers at the registry

He said he'd fallen in love

What I said I no longer know

We split the assets

The Passat for him

The timeshare and a lot in Meais

The apartment for me

Custody of the boys

Wrinkles, varicose veins, two herniated discs

And the water-aerobics program

I went there today for the first session

That's how I found myself

In a little corner of the concrete stands

Alone waiting for the end

Of the swimming class

That's how I found myself

In a little corner of the concrete stands

Alone waiting for the end

Of the swimming class
