Haja que houver há sempre um homem
Whatever happens, there's always a man
Para uma mulher e há de sempre haver
For a woman, there will always be someone
Para esquecer um falso amor
To forget a false love
E uma vontade de morrer
And a will to die
Seja como for há de vencer
However it is, love will prevail
O grande amor que há de ser
The great love that is to be
No coração como perdão
In the heart as forgiveness
Pra quem chorou
For those who have cried
