Tão Somente Uma Vez

Just once in a lifetime
I loved in life
Just once
And never again

Once, nothing more in my eyes
Hope shone
The hope that brightens the path
Of cruel loneliness

Once, nothing more
The soul surrenders
With a sweet total
Renunciation

And when this miracle opens the doors
Of desired love
Joy, a celebration is sung
In my heart

Once, nothing more in my eyes
Hope shone
The hope that brightens the path
Of cruel loneliness

Once, nothing more
The soul surrenders
With a sweet total
Renunciation

And when this miracle opens the doors
Of desired love
The joy of celebration is sung
In my heart
