Full lyrics

Perdi aquela rosa perfumada

Fiquei sem a minha amada

A quem dei meu coração

O que me resta é a saudade no meu peito

Deste amor que foi desfeito

Sem ter motivo ou razão

(2x)


E hoje não tenho mais alegria

Se vivo na boemia

Há um motivo pra isso


Se bebo é pra esquecer meu fracasso

E você no meu lugar

Também faria o que eu faço

(2x)

Translation

I lost that perfumed rose

I was left without my beloved

To whom I gave my heart

What remains for me is the saudade in my chest

Of this love that was undone

Without reason or cause

(2x)


And today I have no more joy

If I live in bohemia

There's a reason for that


If I drink, it's to forget my failure

And you in my place

Would also do what I do

(2x)
