These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Verse 1
Eram os dois da mesma aldeia
They were both from the same village
Mesma rua, mesmo lado
Same street, same side
Mesmo jeito de criança
Same way as a child
Mesmo olhar envergonhado
Even look embarrassed
Havia até quem dizia
There were even people who said
Que eram uma só pessoa
Who were one person
Pois só se separavam
For they only apart
À noite quando chegavam
At night when they arrived
À rua onde moravam
To the street where they lived
Mas o tempo foi passando
But time went by
Com ele o jeito de criança
With him the way of a child
E aquela uma só pessoa
And that one person
Já era quase só lembrança
It was almost just a memory
Ele esperava por ela
He waited for her
Mas ela tinha outros planos
But she had other plans
Tinha encontrado o amor
I had found love
Amor que ele conhecia
Love he knew
Há tantos, tantos anos
So many, so many years ago
Foi da janela do quarto
It was from the bedroom window
Que a viu sair para o casamento
Who saw her go out to the wedding
Chorou como se estivesse
He cried as if he were
No altar naquele momento
At the altar at that moment
E foi dizendo bem baixinho
And it was saying very quietly
Que prometia ser fiel
Who promised to be faithful
E ali naquele momento
And there at that moment
Sentiu o toque dela
You felt her touch
E no dedo o anel
And on the finger the ring
Verse 2
Preferiu viver sozinho
He preferred to live alone
Para se ela quisesse voltar
For if she wanted to come back
Mesmo quando bem velhinho
Even when very old
Não se cansou de esperar
You didn't get tired of waiting
Sabia que ela estava longe
I knew she was far away
Mas não deixou de acreditar
But he didn't stop believing
Que um dia ela viveria
That one day she would live
Na mesma aldeia, mesma rua, mesmo lado
In the same village, same street, same side
Did you know?
