Teresinha (English)
Teresinha
(Chico Buarque)
The first one arrived to me as someone who comes from the flower shop
He brought me a puppy toy; he brought me a pin of amethyst
He told me about the voyages that he has done, and about the advantages that he has
He showed me his watch, he used to call me “queen”
He found me so unarmed, that he touched my heart, but he did not deny anything to me, then, scared, I said no.
The second one arrived to me, as someone who arrives from the bar
He brought me one liter of aguardente, very hard to drink
He inquired about my past and he smelled the food I prepared
He searched my drawer and he used to call me "hooker"
He found me so unarmed that he scratched my heart, but he did not give me anything, then, scared, I said no.
The third one arrived to me, as someone who arrives from the nothing
He didn’t bring me anything, and also nothing asked to me
I almost don’t know his name, but I understand what he wants, he step into my bed and he calls me “woman”
He has arrived so deceitfully, that before I have tried to say no, he was already installed, as a keeper, inside of my heart.
