Foi Por Ela
Fausto
It Was Because of Her
It was because of her that I will leave tomorrow
just yesterday, today, and always even now
always the same facing the sea also tires me
Madrid, Paris, Brussels who catches up with me
in Lisbon, the Tagus River stays watching ships
from the Rossio square of guitars by the window
it was because of her that I already dance the waltz on tiptoes
that I went beyond my limits, it was because of her
It was because of her that I dress warmly
instead of that short colorful sleeve
if you're going out, my nation from the headlines
still trembling from cold attacked
but the heat that used to be is also lacking
and the tropical sense fades on the lapel
it was because of her that I wore a suit and tie
even the sun doesn't bother me, it was because of her
It was because of her that I go through serious things
and I passed by passing through the Algarves
with so many miracle-working saints all year round
it was by miracle that I was even born profane
and I come like a triton climbing the rivers
that shape her face like a God
it was because of her that I stopped being who I was
without knowing what awaits me, it was because of her
