Full lyrics
Foi lá no moinho d'água
Que conheci a morena
De quem eu me enamorei
Hoje
Quando eu conto
As minhas mágoas
Ela nem se quer se lembra
De que por ela chorei
Mas o tempo foi passando
E ela nem apercebeu
Que a velhice foi chegando
Matando o orgulho seu
Moinho d'água rolando
Lembrando o que aconteceu
Translation
It was there at the water mill
That I met the brunette
With whom I fell in love
Today
When I tell
My sorrows
She doesn't even remember
That I cried for her
But time kept passing
And she didn't even notice
That old age was arriving
Killing her pride
Water mill rolling
Remembering what happened
