Lyrics
Folha maldita, obedeces
Às mãos que nem tu mereces
Às mentiras do poeta
Toda a negrura dos traços
Descreveram mil abraços
Histórias de uma porta aberta
Só tu sabes, folha branca
A arte de tornar estanque
Essa seiva da verdade
Contou-me histórias de amor
Esse pobre fingidor
Fez-me crer que tem saudade
E tu, oh folha rendida
À mão que na despedida
Diz adeus sem ter partido
Vai dizer a toda a gente
Que finge o que deveras sente
O meu poeta perdido
Lyrics translation
Damn leaf, you obey
To the hands you don't even deserve
To the lies of the poet
All the blackness of the traces
They described a thousand hugs
Stories of an open door
Only you know, white leaf
The art of making watertight
This sap of truth
He told me love stories
That poor pretender
It made me believe you miss it
And you, oh leaf yield
At hand that at parting
Say goodbye without leaving
Will tell everyone
Who pretends what you really feel
My lost poet
