Castelo de Amor/ Blusa Vermelha (pot-pourri)

In a place far, far away, up on top of the hill
Where I see the vastness and the beauties that fascinate
There I want to live close to my flower
There I want to build our castle of love

When far, very far, the Sun rises on the horizon
Creating rays in the sky, illuminating the mountains
Warming all the land, drinking the dew from the flowers
I want to toast with affection our castle of love

When far, very far, clouds form in the sky
And the rain slowly covers the land with a veil
And the calm wind blows through our blooming garden
How happy we will feel in our castle of love

When one day our dreams become reality
United we will be in complete happiness
Then we will sing praises to the creator
Our castle of love will truly be a paradise

When I look at the wall and see your portrait
Tears bathe my face in endless weeping
I sit on the bed and stay alone in the room
The cursed longing takes hold of me

I get up, go to the wardrobe and open the doors
I see the red blouse you left behind
Then despair steals my calm
I go out to the street and even my soul
Weeps in silence feeling my pain

God, oh mighty Lord, I make a request to you
Send relief to this suffering heart
If she ever returns, I thank you
But to suffer, as I suffer
I prefer a thousand times that you send me death

I get up, go to the wardrobe and open the doors
I see the red blouse you left behind
Then despair steals my calm
I go out to the street and even my soul
Weeps in silence feeling my pain

God, oh mighty Lord, I make a request to you
Send relief to this suffering heart
If she ever returns, I thank you
But to suffer, as I suffer
I prefer a thousand times that you send me death
