Pátio dos Amores (Lover?s Lane) Lyrics

Sitting in a dressing room
I see my life passing by me,
sitting in a dressing room
lost in the memory of lilac lips...

I thought of loving everyone,
anyone, everyone,
but none of them knew how to give me
that word love, which does such harm!

And I was passing by
the popular parade, near your door,
I happened on your eyes,
I was lost in that look and...fell away dead!

My God, what madness,
walking in the cold, losing sleep!
Oh Maria, how exhausting, I'm burnt down to the wick,
and the man?s already taken!...
