Maldição
Amália Rodrigues
Curse
What fate or curse
Commands us, my heart!
Lost in each other like this
We are two silent screams
Two mismatched destinies
Two lovers apart
We are two silent screams
Two mismatched destinies
Two lovers apart
For you, I suffer and slowly die
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?
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 miserable
What a fate yours, my chest
That is never satisfied
That gives everything and has nothing!
What a fate 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
It's lucidity, madness
To read in one's own destiny
Without being able to change its fate
