[English]

Like a thunder loaded with memories

...

I wanted to show you who I was

...

You didn't care, you walked out the door

I waited for you

At night you came in unbeatable

And saliva from the kiss like the first one

Tied me to your scent, you appeared whole

And we danced the final dance

In the splendor of the gale

...

When I saw you, you were already a beggar

That bent honor at my feet

You asked me to be only yours

You looked at me naked, without a haven

Hurt with you, I closed the small door

And I cast the imperial calm

In the splendor of the gale

You already, you already tried to lean on my arms

To beg for me to forgive

But love, I will not return,

Never again

Never again

Never again

Never again

...

[Portuguese]

Como um trovão carregado de memórias

Quis mostrar-te quem eu era

Tu não ligaste, saiste porta fora

Eu fiquei à tua espera

À noite entraste imbatível

E saliva do beijo como o primeiro

Prendeu-me ao teu cheiro, surgiste inteiro

E dançamos a dança final

No esplendor do vendaval

Quando te vi já eras um mendigo

Que vergava a honra a meus pés

Pedias para eu ser só tua

Olhavas-me nua, sem porto de abrigo

Magoada contigo, fechei o postigo

E deitei a calma imperial

No esplendor do vendaval

Já, já tentaste apoiar-te em meus braços

Implorar para eu perdoar

Mas amor, eu não hei de voltar,

Nunca mais

Nunca mais

Nunca mais

Nunca mais
