O impossível carinho See original
Language: Portuguese (Português)
Escuta, eu não quero contar-te o meu desejo
Quero apenas contar-te a minha ternura;
Ah se em troca de tanta felicidade que me dás;
Eu te pudesse repor;
- Eu ... soubesse repor -;
No coração despedaçado;
As mais puras alegrias de tua infância!
