A Paixão (Segundo Nicolau da Viola)

You were the one I wanted the most
To give me some comfort and company
It was only with you that I dreamed of walking
Everywhere and maybe even getting married

Oh, the things I went through just for loving you
The saliva I wasted to change you
But your world was stronger than me
And not even with the power of music did it move

Even knowing you didn't like it
I pawned my ruby ring
To take you to the concert at Rivoli

And it was only you, whom I wanted the most
By my side at the concert that day
Together in the dark, holding hands and listening
To that crazy music always rising
But you didn't stay for even half an hour
You didn't make an effort to like it and you left

With you, I learned a great lesson
You don't love someone who doesn't hear the same song

Even knowing you didn't like it
I pawned my ruby ring
To take you to the concert at Rivoli

It was on that day that I realized
There was nothing else for us to do
My passion for you was a flame
That had no more wood to burn

Even knowing you didn't like it
I pawned my ruby ring
To take you to the concert at Rivoli
