Fado Maria Rita
Procura Vã
Lyrics: Antônio Rocha
Music: Armando Machado
I went looking for you
On the street of forgetfulness
I searched but didn’t see you
On that cold, dark night
I only heard the wind
That came to tell me about you
I don’t know if the wind lied
Or told me the truth
Things you can’t even guess
Because it told me it saw you
On the alley of longing
And you missed me
I went there but saw no one
Only the voice of the wind
Which left me sad and surprised
Because it saw you with someone else
At that very moment
Near the alley of contempt
Tired of looking for you
Streets and streets in vain
And you never showing up
I decided to wait for you
In the square of loneliness
You can come whenever you want
