A Rita levou meu sorriso
Rita took my smile
No sorriso dela
In her smile
Meu assunto
My subject
Levou junto com ela
Took it with her
E o que me é de direito
And what is my right
Arrancou-me do peito
Ripped me off my chest
E tem mais
And there's more
Levou seu retrato, seu trapo, seu prato
Took your portrait, your rag, your plate
Que papel!
What a role!
Uma imagem de São Francisco
An image of San Francisco
E um bom disco de Noel
And a good Noel album
A Rita matou nosso amor
Rita killed our love
De vingança
Of revenge
Nem herança deixou
He didn't even leave an inheritance
Não levou um tostão
Didn't take a dime
Porque não tinha não
Because there wasn't
Mas causou perdas e danos
But it caused loss and damage
Levou os meus planos
Took my plans
Meu pobres enganos
My poor mistakes
Os meus vinte anos
My twenties
O meu coração
my heart
E além de tudo
And beyond all
Me deixou mudo
Left me dumb
Um violão
A guitar
