Lyrics Direct Translation Poetic Translation
Sempre fiz vossa vontade I always did your will, I always did what you wanted;
mas agora but now But no longer
não sois vos minha señora you are not my lady. Are you she whom I must honor.
No tempo que mais folgaua When it was most pleasant, Those times when we seemed so happy --
mór engano recebia I was badly deceived. Why did I not see right through you?
se com razão me queixaua That I was right to complain But now I have grown more savvy;
co contrairo me vencia. I am convinced. I was right to hate what you do.
O quam mal vos conhecia O you whom I hardly knew -- I know that I barely knew you;
mas agora but now But no longer
não sois vos minha señora. you are not my lady. Are you she whom I must honor.
