A Pretendida (La Pretendida)
Altemar Dutra
The Intended (The Intended)
You complain that you miss my affection
And you say I'm not as I used to be
And that my kisses no longer satisfy your desires
You even blame me for having someone else
You complain, I understand and accept
But don't blame me, because I never deceived you
You were leaving our nest abandoned
The fault is yours, I didn't fail
You want to leave me and I can't hold you back anymore
Follow your destiny, I give you freedom
Along the way, you will always be the intended one
And in that fall, you will feel immense pain
You want to leave me, I will suffer because I love you
I wish you good luck, without resentment
And if one day you knock on my door
You can come in, I will give you my forgiveness
You want to leave me, I can't stop you
Go on with your life, I give you freedom
Along the way, they will call you the intended one
And in the falls, your pride will die
