Meu Primeiro Amor
Fernando Mendes
My First Love
It was at a party the other day
That I found you dancing
Childhood sweetheart
Dreams by the seaside
You looked at me suddenly
Pretended you had forgotten
And with an awkward smile, introduced me to your husband
And the rest of the night danced for real
If your eyes looked at me, they pretended not to see
In my corner I stayed between laughter and pain
Remembering the first love
To kiss me you needed to stand on tiptoe
I was eight years old then, but I lied to you that I was ten
I remember you proud of my long pants
We came together from school without any fear of life
And the rest of the night danced for real
If your eyes looked at me, they pretended not to see
In my corner I stayed between laughter and pain
Remembering the first love
On Saturday I had money to take you to the cinema
Where, afraid, I held your little hand
Our sand castles, dreams lost in the air
A game of sock ball and a soda at the bar
And the rest of the night danced for real
If your eyes looked at me, they pretended not to see
In my corner I stayed between laughter and pain
Remembering the first love
