Naufrago de Amor
Luis Mateus
Shipwreck of Love
They said I was a vagabond so you would leave me
He can't offer you anything, he has nothing, he has nothing
You listened to those words, their thorns were stronger
I could understand your silence, I knew you loved me, ah, ah...
And it was you, who without caring threw me into the sea
And never asked if I knew how to swim
And only by shipwrecking could I continue
Asking for a lifebuoy to come and rescue
A man who is dying without reason
Whose only treasure was his heart
Whose only sin was to give love
I never had fortune, only my nobility
I never had the luck to have wealth
Only my virtues that made me strong
Always that great affection towards people
And it was you, who without caring threw me into the sea
And never asked if I knew how to swim
And only by shipwrecking could I continue
I could continue...
Life turns and has changes that one never expects
In another scene I found you, now the script is different, very different
And you try to raise your gaze, now you speak to me directly
Hinting that you were wrong, I don't want to hear you, go, eh, eh...
And tell whoever, I advise you to thank them for interrupting
The happiness of this vagabond who believed in love
They never imagined how much I adored you
They can't imagine how much I loved you
And tell them that in my mind there is no resentment
That thanks to destiny I found a love
That changed my luck without conditions
I never had fortune, only my nobility
I never had the luck to have wealth
Only my virtues that made me strong
Always that great affection towards my people
And it was you, who without caring threw me into the sea
And never asked if I knew how to swim
And only by shipwrecking could I continue
Asking for a lifebuoy to come and rescue
A man who is dying without reason
Whose only treasure was his heart...
