Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Pena by Jorge Ben Jor from Portuguese to English.
Ela já não gosta mais de mim
She no longer likes me
Mas eu gosto dela mesmo assim
But I still like her
Que pena, que pena
What a shame, what a shame
Ela já não é mais a minha pequena
She is no longer my little one
Que pena, que pena
What a shame, what a shame
Pois não é fácil recuperar
Because it's not easy to recover
Um grande amor perdiiiido
A great love lost
Pois ela era uma rosa
Because she was a rose
Ela era uma rosa
She was a rose
As outras eram manjericão
The others were basil
As outras eram manjericão
The others were basil
Ela era uma rosa
She was a rose
Ela era uma rosa
She was a rose
Que mandava no meu coração
Who ruled my heart
Coração, coração
Heart, heart
Mas eu não vou chorar
But I won't cry
Eu vou é cantar
I will sing instead
Pois a vida continua
Because life goes on
Pois a vida continua
Because life goes on
E eu não ficar sozinho
And I won't stay alone
No meio da rua
In the middle of the street
No meio da rua esperando que
In the middle of the street waiting for
