A Imperatriz e a Princesa

She locked her heart in the tower of a dusty castle and only
Thought she would never open it again, for another emperor knight
The cloud that took her dreams was the flame of a dragon
That now guards the tower, watches over her sleep
And doesn't let a new love come
For the empress to set free

So lonely she watched everything from high in her prison
From somewhere a scent flowed that calmed her loneliness
In that empire the legend said the empress went mad
When her king left, riding a steed
She never smiled again
She never opened up again

How many men dueled for her gifts,
For her charms and fell in front of the dragon
That guarded her heart

Since she was a child, Princess Amarílis
Knew the legend of a dragon
That haunted the beautiful lady with the strength of that curse
While she cultivated roses, she looked at the tower from the sky
And deeply wished to make the empress smile

Not to give up on love and be happy
To be able to spread wings and fly
To risk again the chips of living
With the perfume of these flowers she would kill
The dragon and the lady would sing this song

Princess, my heart is yours
I haven't known what love is for a long time
Little one, your light is so great
And Princess Amarílis, without horse and without shield
Freed the empress from the curse

Oh, lady, I receive your pain
In the flowers I kept my warmth
Giant, tiny affliction
In my eyes, your mirror
In this flesh I heal the wound and brighten your life

And through the fields the colors multiplied like a miracle
The era of sorrows ended and there's nothing to separate them
And the dragon, inert, no longer haunted even a child
In the face of evil, the strength of hope made the kingdom a better place
And joy was never greater

How many men dueled for her gifts, for her charms
And fell in front of the dragon
That guarded her heart

Princess, my heart is yours
I haven't known what love is for a long time
Little one, your light is so great

They tell in that city today a new legend
The love of the empress for the princess
Oh, lady, I receive your pain
In the flowers I kept my warmth
Giant, tiny affliction

Minstrels sing in rhymes
So the world remembers
That they were so happy forever
