 Português:                                                         English:


Madalena, o meu peito percebeu /  Madalena, my heart realized that
que o mar é uma gota / the sea is a mere water drop
comparado ao pranto meu / if compared to all my weeping
Fique certa, quando o nosso amor desperta /Be sure of one thing: when our love arouses
logo o sol se desespera/ the sun soon gets in despair
e se esconde lá na serra/ and goes hide behind that hill

Madalena, o que é meu não se divide/ Madalena, I don't share my things with anyone

Nem tão pouco se admite/ nor it's allowed to exist someone

Quem do nosso amor duvide/ to doubt of our love

Até a lua se arrisca num palpite: / Even the moon ventures to say a hunch:

Que o nosso amor existe/ Our love exists for sure

forte ou fraco alegre ou triste/ Be it strong or weak, happy or sad
