Maldição
Amália Rodrigues
Curse
What destiny, or curse
Commands us, my heart?
Lost in each other this way
We are two silent screams
Two mismatched fates
Two lovers apart
For you I suffer and I am dying
I can't find you, nor understand you
I love and hate without reason
Heart... When do you tire
Of our dead hopes
When do you stop, heart?
In this struggle, this agony
I sing and cry with joy
I am happy and wretched
What fate is yours, my chest
That is never satisfied
That gives everything... And has nothing
The icy loneliness
That you give me, heart
Is neither life nor death
It's lucidity, madness
To read in one's own destiny
Without being able to change its fate
