Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Eu E A Lua by Tonico e Tinoco from Portuguese to English.
Eu me desperto em arta madrugada
I wake up early in the morning
Em arvorada ponho-me a cantar
In the trees I start to sing
Em tom profundo lamento em meu pinho
In deep tones I lament in my pine
Triste sozinho, vivo a recordar
Sad alone, I live remembering
Vem ouvir ingrata, quem deixou de amar
Come listen to the ungrateful, who stopped loving
Somente a Lua no céu estrelado
Only the Moon in the starry sky
Está a meu lado, surgiu num clarão
He's by my side, he appeared in a flash
E tu querida nem abre a janela
And you darling don't even open the window
Vem ouvir donzela a minha canção
Come listen to my song, maiden
Tu foi aquela muié sem coração
You were that heartless woman
Pinho soluça triste modulando
Pine sobs sad modulating
Sempre vagando, mesmo sem ninguém
Always wandering, even without anyone
Em arta noite silêncio profundo
In the deep silence of the night
Por ti padecendo daqui para além
For you suffering from here to beyond
Tu desprezaste a quem te quer bem
You despised those who love you well
Did you know?
