How insensitive I must have seemed when she told me that she loved me

How unmoved and cold I must have seemed when she told me so sincerely

 

"Why" she must have asked, did I just turn and stare in icy silence?

What was I to say?  What can you say when a love affair is over?

 

Now she's gone away and I'm alone with a mem'ry of her last look

Vague and drawn and sad I see it still, all her heartbreak in that last look

 

<in Portuguese>

Ah, porque vocˆ foi fraco assim

Assim tao desalmado

 

What was I to do?  What can one do when a love affair is over?
