Ricardo Ribeiro "Alma Minha" lyrics

Translation to:enfr

Alma Minha

Alma minha gentil, que te partistetão cedo desta vida descontente,repousa lá no Céu eternamente,e viva eu cá na terra sempre triste.

Se lá no assento etéreo, onde subiste,memória desta vida se consente,não te esqueças daquele amor ardenteque já nos olhos meus tão puro viste.

E se vires que pode merecer tealgüa causa a dor que me ficouda mágoa, sem remédio, de perder te,

roga a Deus, que teus anos encurtou,que tão cedo de cá me leve a ver te,quão cedo de meus olhos te levou.

My Soul

My gentle departed soulSo soon taken from this wretched lifeMay you rest in Heaven for all eternityThat I shall remain on earth perpetually despondent

If in that celestial place you ascendedMemories of this life are permittedDo not forget that fiery loveThat you saw so purely in my eyes

And if you feel you can benefitFrom my lingering painOf the incurable anguish of losing you

Pray to God who shortened your lifeThat He may readily take me to see youJust as quickly as He took you from my eyes.
