Foi Um Rio Que Passou em Minha Vida

If one day
My heart was consulted
To know if you went wrong
It will be difficult to deny

My heart is obsessed with love
Love is not easy to find
The mark of my disappointments remained, remained
Only a love can erase

The mark of my disappointments remained, remained
Only a love can erase

However (oh, however)
There is a different case that left its mark in a short time
My heart forever
It was Carnival day

I carried a sadness
I wasn't thinking about new love
When someone I don't remember announced
Portela, Portela

Samba bringing dawn
My heart won over

Ah! My Portela!
When I saw you pass by
I felt my heart racing
My whole body taken, my joy returns

I can't define that blue
It was not from the sky nor from the sea
It was a river that passed through my life
And my heart let itself go

It was a river that passed through my life
And my heart let itself go
It was a river that passed through my life
And my heart let itself go!
