Full lyrics
O povo fala mais não sabe porque é
Eu fui forçado a deixar essa mulher
Mais eu não posso fazer do bonito feio
Nem obrigar o coração que não me quer
Ela sabia que eu não tinha nada
Se nada tenho nada posso dar
Eu dei a ela com satisfação
Meu coração ela não soube amar
Translation
People talk but they don't know why
I was forced to leave that woman
But I can't make the beautiful ugly
Nor force a heart that doesn't want me
She knew I had nothing
If I have nothing, I can give nothing
I gave it to her with satisfaction
My heart she didn't know how to love
