Naquele Tempo
Pixinguinha
In That Time
I always loved you
I always adored you
I always longed
One day to see you happy
I did everything, I carried
My cross with righteousness
Just to win your heart
But everything was in vain because
I suffered without complaining
I suffered not to cry
I endured my pain
Longing for your love
I waited on the corner for you
Yet, you passed by
Without even looking at me
In that time you had everything
Beauty, wealth, sensual lips
Malice in your gaze
Charming to excess
I wanted to conquer you
You never wanted me
And even told someone
That I was unhappy
In that time there were gatherings
Romances, serenades, also under the moonlight
Someone told me
They saw you cry
That night I sang
Choruses and songs
With flute, ukulele, and guitars
Time goes by
I also now
No longer suffer
I have a great love now
To calm my pain
To ease my suffering
And listen to my sighs
You ended up alone
Because you scorned the one who loved you so much
Everything ended
And today I am happy
