E Alegre Se Fez Triste
Manuel Alegre
And Happy Became Sad
That clear dawn when
Saw tears running down your face
And happy became sad as if
It suddenly rained in the middle of August
She only saw my fingers in yours
My name in your name and lingering
Saw our eyes together in the secrets
That we silently said apart
The clear dawn when I left
Only she saw your face looking at the road
Where the car was moving away
And she saw that the homeland was all in you
And heard goodbye being said
That made the clear dawn so sad
That made the clear dawn so sad
