Algo Estranho Acontece
António Zambujo
Something Strange Happens
Our love always comes to an end
You old lady with your grumpy look
And me, old man, walking out the door
But in the morning something strange happens
You, a young girl coming from catechesis
And me, a young boy running from school
Even avoiding, everything repeats
The bump, the fall, and the pain in the foot
Your smile always comforts me
In our love, everything continues
The first kiss and the moonlight
The wedding and the January sun
Joana comes, Clara and Martim
The little one appears, the secular and the bobi
And a wrinkle peeking in the mirror
With arthritis, hernia, and crutch
You confuse the granddaughter's name
And I don't know where I put the money
Our love always comes here
The moment I look at you
With a penitent lamb look
But you don't even remember well what I did
And I also forgot about it
But with you, I feel happy
I hang the coat on the hanger
Put on pajamas and join you
With a sweet and daring smile
I lean my warm foot against your cold one
And falling asleep, I whisper softly
I would live it all over again
