Eu, a Viola e Ela
João Carreiro & Capataz
Me, the Guitar, and Her
Because of you, guitar
Who says they adore me wants to leave me
Jealousy keeps telling me
To choose who I'll stay with
I like her and I'll suffer a lot
But this absurdity I'll never accept
I prefer to cry the goodbye
From the one who knew me with the guitar on my chest
Guitar, I still remember
She was so beautiful in that window
And you, with your passionate strumming
Were the one who gave her to me
So, I won't give up
This heart of mine that she wants to steal from you
But if she really leaves
It's with you, guitar, that I'll stay
Guitar, I'm very sad
But the pain that exists, you console me
In your arms, I lament
The love that jealousy will take away
And I foresee at any moment this jealous love
Leaving us forever
But may God from heaven accompany you
And let me love the guitar alone
