Estória de Cantador

I saw a queen like a star on the ground
In her neckline, the lace and the row of buttons
I praised her dress to say it was noble
Like a king at her service, I’m at your command

The orders were served with lots of love and passion
From a thousand promises, a handsome boy emerged
At the celebration of the Christ child, after two years of courtship
He brought a boy to work, almost drove me to death

What’s left of us two isn’t even enough to share
The worst came later when I could see it clear
From the features of this child, I can read my story
A suffering that comes from far away

Covered in glory
