O Seu Retrato

Arranging things
In my room
I became very sad

Sorting through my old papers
What did I find?
Your forgotten yellow photo
Was lying there

In an instant I found myself in longing
And quickly picked up
The almost forgotten past
Returned in the room
And the portrait showed me
Your face
When I cried

Hallucinations of love
Memories of someone
Old memories that time took away
But did not destroy

If I had known, my love
That today I would find
I would have burned
This portrait of yours
When you left

I thought I no longer remembered
Our misfortune
And had healed from everything
I had suffered

I thought I no longer thought
About our romance
And you were just a case
Of those I've lived

But now seeing your face again
I know I was wrong
You are the summary of everything
I dreamed for myself

Hallucinations of love
Memories of someone
Old memories that time took away
But did not destroy

If I had known, my love
That today I would find
I would have burned
This portrait of yours
When you left
