A Beleza da Rosa
José Ribeiro
The Beauty of the Rose
You have the beauty of the rose
One of the most beautiful flowers
You are the flower of my beautiful garden
And I want it just for me
Your gentle perfume
Sometimes makes me jealous
When I kiss you, I feel in my heart
The beating of the purest passion
However
I'm afraid that your rose-like beauty
Turns into a thorn
I almost die just thinking
About losing your affection
I'm afraid that this passion
Is an endless illusion
I'm afraid that you are not the flower
Of my sad garden
