Foi Um Rio Que Passou em Minha Vida
Paulinho da Viola
It Was a River That Passed Through My Life
If one day
My heart is consulted
To know if it went wrong
It will be hard to deny
My heart
Has a habit of love
Love is not easy to find
The mark of my disappointments remained, remained
Only one love can erase
The mark of my disappointments remained, remained
Only one love can erase
However! Oh however!
There is a different case
That marked in a short time
My heart forever
It was Carnival day
I carried a sadness
I didn't think of new love
When someone I don't remember announced
Portela, Portela
The samba bringing dawn
Conquered my heart
Ah! My Portela!
When I saw you pass by
I felt my heart racing
My whole body taken
My joy returning
I can't define that blue
It wasn't from the sky nor from the sea
It was a river that passed through my life
And my heart let itself be carried
It was a river that passed through my life
And my heart let itself be carried
It was a river that passed through my life
And my heart let itself be carried!
