Meu Amor de Longe
Raquel Tavares
My Love from Afar
In Largo da Graça the day has already begun
I hear a little bird, I'll steal its melody
My love from afar called
Blessed joy
Next to the viewpoint, pigeons and foreigners
Go around as they do all day
My love from afar is coming
Put a letter in the mail
Boats and seagulls from the Tagus
See what I see, it's the sun that will shine
My love from afar is
About to arrive
Tailored for me
As soon as I met him, I found him that way
I could soon understand the fate I would have
By seeing in him the whole fate
Enough of tragedies and misfortunes
Everything passes in time, there's nothing to lose
My love from afar came back
Just to see me
I made a list of plans to welcome him
I painted my nails, put braids in my hair
My love from afar will come
To kiss me in the castle
Me looking for him, he coming eagerly
Carriage of Pleasures, number 28
My love from afar jumped
Lit up the night
Let's celebrate in Bairro Alto
Dawn, dance at Cais do Sodré
My love from afar knows well
How it is
Tailored for me
As soon as I met him, I found him that way
I could soon understand the fate I would have
By seeing in him the whole fate
Enough of tragedies and misfortunes
Everything passes in time, there's nothing to lose
My love from afar came back
Just to see me
