Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Folha Seca by Amado Batista from Portuguese to English.

Fazia um dia bonito quando ela chegou

It was a beautiful day when she arrived

Trazia no rosto as marcas que o sol queimou

She had on her face the marks that the sun burned

Disse que estava cansada

She said she was tired

Sem lugar para ficar

With no place to stay

Tive pena do teu pranto

I felt sorry for your tears

E disse, 'pode entrar'

And said, 'come in'

Como se me conhecesse, ela me contou

As if she knew me, she told me

Seu passado de aventura, onde ela passou

About her adventurous past, where she had been

E eu sem nem um preconceito

And without any prejudice

Com amor, lhe aceitei

With love, I accepted her

Um mês e pouco mais tarde

A month and a little later

Com ela me casei

I married her

Mas um dia sem motivo ela me falou

But one day for no reason she told me

Vou me embora desta casa e do teu amor

I'm leaving this house and your love

Pra dizer mesmo a verdade

To tell you the truth

Eu nunca te amei

I never loved you

Por teu pão e tua casa

It was for your bread and your house

Foi que eu fiquei

That I stayed

Era uma tarde tão triste quando ela partiu

It was such a sad afternoon when she left

Na curva daquela estrada

At the curve of that road

Ela então sumiu

She disappeared

Era como folha seca

She was like a dry leaf

Que vai onde o vento quer

That goes wherever the wind wants

Me enganei quando dizia

I was wrong when I said

Tenho uma mulher

I have a woman

Fazia um dia bonito quando ela chegou

It was a beautiful day when she arrived

Era uma tarde tão triste quando ela partiu

It was such a sad afternoon when she left

Fazia um dia bonito quando ela chegou

It was a beautiful day when she arrived

Era uma tarde tão triste

It was such a sad afternoon

Quando ela partiu

When she left
