O amor, quando se revela

Não se sabe revelar

Sabe bem olhar p´ra ela

Mas não lhe sabe falar

Quem quer dizer o que sente

Não sabe o que há-de dizer

Fala: parece que mente…

Cala: parece esquecer…

Ah, mas se ela adivinhasse

Se pudesse ouvir o olhar

E se um olhar lhe bastasse

P´ra saber que a estão a amar!

Mas quem sente muito, cala;

Quem quer dizer quanto sente

Fica sem alma nem fala

Fica só, inteiramente!

The love, when it reveals itself

It is not known to reveal

It feels good to look at her

But you don't know how to talk

Who wants to say what they feel

Don't know what to say

Spoken: seems to lie...

Cala: seems to forget...

Oh, but if she guessed

If she could hear the look

And if one look was enough for you

To know that you are loving her!

But whoever is sorry, shut up;

Who wants to say how much you feel

No soul or speech

Stay alone, entirely!
