Só Castigo
Osvaldo Oliveira
Ali está aquele amor que pertenceu a minha vida
A quem outrora eu chamava de querida
Fiquei surpreso quando aqui lhe avistei
Ali está distribuindo o seu amor neste recinto
Tudo é verdade, podes crer, pois eu não minto
Ali está a mulher que eu tanto amei
Agora ela está como queria
Com a vida que ela pediu a Deus
Pois eu lhe dava o pão de cada dia
Não posso perdoar os erros seus
Reparem como ela está chorando
Mandou-me recado por um amigo
Pra mim ela é de gelo
Não ouço mais apelo
Voltar com ela só sendo castigo
Translation
There is that love that belonged to my life
Whom I once called darling
I was surprised when I saw her here
There she is distributing her love in this place
Everything is true, you can believe, for I do not lie
There is the woman I loved so much
Now she is as she wanted
With the life she asked God for
For I gave her the daily bread
I cannot forgive her mistakes
Notice how she is crying
She sent me a message through a friend
To me she is made of ice
I no longer hear an appeal
Returning with her would only be a punishment
