Lencinho branco

I keep the white handkerchief
That you forgot when you left me
Stained by the carmine
I took from my lips when I kissed you

I kept your handkerchief, to remember
The kiss we left on it
And seeing your lips
I cry remembering
That you left afterwards and never returned

I keep the white handkerchief
That you forgot when you left me
Stained by the carmine
I took from my lips when I kissed you

White handkerchief, what an illusion
That crazy love was
Everything is loneliness now, he won't come back

My dear handkerchief, stayed with me
Faithful companion, didn't abandon me
Beloved handkerchief, what shall I do
If I can't forget that affection?

The afternoon was cold
Cold also became your heart
And understanding that he was leaving
On the white handkerchief
I cried for his betrayal
