Original text with translation
Amália Rodrigues
Aprendi a fazer contas
Na escola de tenra idade
Foi mais tarde, ainda às contas
Que fiz contas com alguém
Eu e tu, naquela ermida
Somamos felicidade!
Mas um dia fui seguida
De traições que tem a vida
Que elas mais que a vida tem:
Tinha um homem, fui tentada
Somei outra conta errada
Fiz a prova, não fiz bem!
Um e um são dois
E é o céu, talvez
Vem mais um depois
Dois e um são três!
Do total tirei a lição final
Somar, meu bem, somei
Mas no amor errei
Fiz as contas mal!
Uma traição, mesmo aos traidores
Faz contas e contas certas:
Multiplica as nossas dores
E divide uma afeição!
Nesta altura, tu comigo
Das contas, ainda resta!
Só te peço que, ao castigo
Diminuas o que eu digo
Nesta negra confissão!
De uma falsa que é sincera
Que te espera mas não espera
Contar mais com teu perdão!
I learned to do math
At school of young age
It was later, still in the accounts
that I made accounts with someone
Me and you, in that hermitage
We add happiness!
But one day I was followed
From betrayals that have life
That they more than life have:
There was a man, I was tempted
I added another wrong account
I took the test, I didn't do well!
One and one is two
And it's heaven, maybe
Come one more later
Two and one are three!
From the total I took the final lesson
Add, my dear, add
But in love I was wrong
I did the math wrong!
A betrayal, even to traitors
Make correct accounts and accounts:
It multiplies our pain
And shares an affection!
At this point, you with me
Of the bills, it still remains!
I only ask that, to the punishment
Decrease what I say
In this black confession!
From a fake that is sincere
That waits for you but doesn't wait
Count more on your forgiveness!
