Era outono e a tristeza
It was autumn and sadness
Caía naqueles lados
I fell on those sides
Como se dobrassem sinos
How to dobells
Com um toque de finados
With a touch of the late
O mundo chamava alice
The world called alice
E ela sem vontade de ir
And she's not willing to go
Tão cedo p'ra estar amarga
So soon to be bitter
Mais ainda p'ra cair
Even more so for falling
Talvez uma só palavra
Maybe a single word
Talvez uma só missiva
Maybe a single missive
Pudesse mudar a agulha
Could change the needle
Dum coração à deriva
From a heart adrift
Mas o carteiro passou
But the postman passed
Nada deixou, nada disse
Nothing left, nothing said
E o recado não chegou
And the message didn't come
Ninguém escreve à alice
No one writes to alice
Ninguém escreve à alice
No one writes to alice
Até que veio o inverno
Until winter came
Do seu descontentamento
Of your discontent
Que lhe enregelou a alma
That froze his soul
Com um frio mudo e lento
With a mute and slow cold
E uma noite foi p'rá rua
And one night it went down the street
Com roupas de ritual
With ritual clothes
Ao longe brilhavam néons
In the distance glowed neons
Foi notícia no jornal
It was news in the newspaper
Talvez uma só palavra
Maybe a single word
Talvez um simples recado
Maybe a simple message
Pudesse mudar a agulha
Could change the needle
Dum coração desvairado
Of a desvairado heart
Mas o carteiro passou
But the postman passed
Nada deixou, nada disse
Nothing left, nothing said
E o recado não chegou
And the message didn't come
Ninguém escreve à alice
No one writes to alice
Ninguém escreve à alice
No one writes to alice
Ninguém escreve à alice
No one writes to alice
Ninguém escreve à alice
No one writes to alice
