Ela Tornou-se Freira
Teixeirinha
She Became a Nun
He
Brunette with sad eyes
I always find you crying
Tell me what is the sorrow
That is tormenting you
I'm your friend and I can't see
See your tears falling
She
Yes, my friend, it's true
My pain is so great
I used to be cheerful and happy
In this deceitful world
Now all that remains is sorrow
From false vows of love
He
I had already noticed
Since the moment I saw you
That your poor heart
Suffers the same as mine did
False vows and disappointment
From a love I knew
She
Friend, I'm very sorry
For your suffering too
I was rejected one day
When I loved the most
I will grow old with sorrow
I will love no one else
He
Please don't say that
Don't give up
One love goes, another comes
On a better path
You are so young and beautiful
Forget the past sorrow
She
Yes, if I could forget
I would forget now
It's no use being beautiful
If it's only one we love
I am a slave to the memory
Of the love that left
He
Then accept some advice
From your friend that I am
Since your heart
Fell for only one
Write to bring back
The one who rejected you
She
I won't write and I won't accept
This love back
I am an honorable girl
I am pure and have value
Tomorrow I will be a nun
Of Christ our Lord
He/She
Today in a church
At the altar of sanctity
There is a nun praying
Without sin and without longing
She forgot that love
That was pure falsehood
She healed her heart
She is a sister of charity
In her prayers she asks
Eternal Father of kindness
Send peace and love on earth
For all humanity
