Verse 1
Tu eras aquela que eu mais queria
You were the one I wanted the most
P'ra me dar algum conforto e companhia
P'ra give me some comfort and company
Era só contigo que eu sonhava andar
It was only you I dreamed of walking
P'ra todo o lado e até quem sabe?
Everywhere and even who knows?
Talvez casar
Maybe get married
Ai o que eu passei, só por te amar
There's what I've been through, just for loving you
A saliva que eu gastei para te mudar
The saliva I spent to change you
Mas esse teu mundo era mais forte do que eu
But this world of yours was stronger than me
E nem com a força da música ele se moveu
And not even with the power of the music did he move
Mesmo sabendo que não gostavas
Even though you didn't like it
Empenhei o meu anel de rubi
I pawned my ruby ring
Para te levar ao concerto
To take you to the concert
Que havia no rivoli
What was in rivoli
Verse 2
Era só a ti que eu mais queria
It was only you I wanted most
Ao meu lado no concerto nesse dia
Next to me at the concert that day
Juntos no escuro de mão dada a ouvir
Together in the dark hand-held to hear
Aquela música maluca sempre a subir
That crazy song always coming up
Mas tu não ficaste nem meia-hora
But you didn't stay half an hour
Não fizeste um esforço p'ra gostar e foste embora
You didn't make an effort to like it and you left
Contigo aprendi uma grande lição
With you I learned a great lesson
Não se ama alguém que não ouve a mesma canção
You don't love someone who doesn't hear the same song
Mesmo sabendo que não gostavas
Even though you didn't like it
Empenhei o meu anel de rubi
I pawned my ruby ring
Para te levar ao concerto
To take you to the concert
Que havia no rivoli
What was in rivoli
Foi nesse dia que percebi
That's the day I realized
Nada mais por nós havia a fazer
Nothing else for us there was to do
A minha paixão por ti era um lume
My passion for you was a fire
Que não tinha mais lenha por onde arder
That there was no more firewood to burn
Mesmo sabendo que não gostavas
Even though you didn't like it
Empenhei o meu anel de rubi
I pawned my ruby ring
Para te levar ao concerto
To take you to the concert
Que havia no rivoli
What was in rivoli
