Folha Seca (part. Amado Batista)

It was a beautiful day when she arrived
She had on her face the marks that the Sun burned
She said she was tired with no place to stay
I felt sorry for her tears and said she could come in

As if she knew me, she told me
About her adventurous past
Where she had been

And without any prejudice
I accepted her with love for a month
And a little later
I married her

But one day for no reason she told me
I'm leaving this house and your love
To tell the truth, I never loved you
It was for your bread and your house that I stayed

It was such a sad afternoon when she left
At the curve of that road, she then disappeared
She was like a dry leaf that goes where the wind wants
I was wrong when I said I have a woman

It was a beautiful day when she arrived
It was such a sad afternoon when she left
