Capricho do Destino
Belmonte e Amaraí
Whim of Destiny
After three years of being married
A little son they had dreamed of was born
For some time they lived happily
Then cruelly they separated
He went away to a far place
And they never knew of his whereabouts
She was left alone with the little son
Crying for the missing of her partner
One day, very tired
Of the sad martyrdom she suffered
By false illusion, she stopped being noble
Started living only in bohemia
The boy was sadly abandoned
Far from her arms without her affection
While his parents took another path
He grew up alone in bad ways
And it was one night when the night train
Made a stop at that station
A passenger pulled out a gun
And mercilessly killed a thief
Among the crowd that gathered there
She also went to see what happened
And with great astonishment, she found her lifeless
On the platform, her fallen son
Like a madwoman, crying and screaming
She turned her eyes to the criminal
And at that moment, she recognized
That man was her husband
Such is the whim of deceitful life
That destiny displays in real scenes
Children growing up abandoned
Paying for the mistakes of their parents
