I once loved a girl from Tejo
Late at night I broke her chair
She and her sister lived by the river
She broke my heart and cut her hair
She danced across the room
The past was her perfume
So many chances, a few romances
She disappeared just like the moon
Waling her dog na Avenida Liberdade
Pas à pas
Elle s'en va
Pas à pas
I once met a man from Rio
Who loved her long ago
He kept her picture in his wallet
When the world was all fado
She danced across the room
Saudade was her perfume
So many chances a few romances
She disappeared just like the moo
Leaving my heart lá na Rua das Pretas
Pas à pas
Elle s'en va
Pas à pas
Elle s'en va
