Full lyrics

Nunca houve dengo igual,

Se já houve eu não sei

Como então te querer mal,

Se entre nós o bem foi rei...


Por mil coisas que me deste,

Te agradece a minha dor,

Que o bom deus te de em dobro,

Tudo que por mim fizeste...


Nada de sentir remorso,

Segue em paz o teu caminho,

A saudade é como arminho,

Suaviza a solidão,

Olha amor eu não estou só,

Tem as flores que plantaste,

São ternuras que deixaste,

Dentro do meu coração...


(2x)

Translation

There was never such dengo,

If there was, I don't know

How then could I wish you ill,

If between us good was king...


For a thousand things you gave me,

My pain thanks you,

May good God give you double,

Everything you did for me...


Nothing to feel remorse for,

Go in peace your way,

The saudade is like ermine,

It softens loneliness,

Look, my love, I am not alone,

There are the flowers you planted,

They are tendernesses you left,

Inside my heart...


(2x)
