Folha Seca
Amado Batista
Dry Leaf
It was a beautiful day when she arrived
She had on her face the marks that the Sun burned
She said she was tired, with no place to stay
I felt sorry for her tears and said: You can come in
As if she knew me, she told me
About her past adventures, where she had been
And I, without any prejudice
Accepted her with love
A month and a little later, I married her
But one day, for no reason, she told me
I'm leaving this house and your love
To tell the truth, I never loved you
It was for your bread and your house that I stayed
It was such a sad afternoon when she left
At the curve of that road, she then disappeared
She, like a dry leaf, goes where the wind wants
I was wrong when I said: I have a woman
It was a beautiful day when she arrived
It was such a sad afternoon when she left
It was a beautiful day when she arrived
It was such a sad afternoon when she left
It was a beautiful day when she arrived
It was such a sad afternoon when she left
