Pela Décima Vez
Noel Rosa
For the Tenth Time
I swore not to love anymore for the tenth time
I swore not to forgive what she did to me
Habit is the force that speaks louder
Than nature
And makes us show weakness
I threw my cigarette on the ground and stepped on it
Without any more, I picked it up and smoked it
Through the smoke
I denied my race crying, repeating
She is the poison I chose
To die without feeling
I felt my heart wanted to stop
When I returned and heard the neighbor say
That she just for spite followed with a cop
Staying there in jail
For the tenth time she is innocent
She doesn't even know what she did
