The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "La salvaora" by Amália Rodrigues.
Lyrics
Quem disse que o amar que custa
Decerto que nunca amou
Eu amei e fui amada
Nunca o amar me custou
Fiando junto à lareira
Dizia a avó à netinha
No tempo esta mãe tinha
O crepitar da fogueira:
Meu amor, não há maneira
De fugir à fé robusta
Da paixão que não assusta
Quem ficou por ter amado
Porque saqueia em pecado
Quem diz que o amar te custa
Sua neta ao ver-se liada
No seu íntimo segredo
Apenas sorri, a medo
E que, fosse envergonhada,
Fingindo não dar por nada
A avó continuou
Quis um dia ao teu avô
Como ele me quis a mim
E quem nunca amou assim
Decerto que nunca amou!
Lyrics translation
Who said the love it costs
Surely you never loved
I loved and was loved
Never did love cost me
Spinning by the fireplace
Grandmother told netinha
At the time this mother had
The crackle of the bonfire:
My love, there is no way
From fleeing the robust faith
From the passion that does not scare
Who stayed for having loved
Because he plunders in Sin
Who says Love costs you
Your granddaughter seeing herself fucked
In your intimate secret
Just smile, fear
And that she was ashamed,
Pretending not to give up
Grandmother continued
I wanted your grandfather one day
How he wanted me
And who has never loved so
I'm sure you never loved!
