Closed Case - Caso arrumado

English text by David Mendonça
*
Closed Case - Caso arrumado
*
I hadnt seen you in almost a month.
You arrived, and one more time,
You were well acompanied.
You sat down at my table
With all the certainty
That our case was closed.
*
She didnt want to hear me,
but you asked with a smile
for our favorite fado.
I did it for you, I sang,
And when I came back to the table
She had already gone.
*
Its not the first time
That we started as three.
I sing and then, after,
That fado that Ive sung
becomes a blessed remedy.
And it ends with the two of us.
*
I know that youll be back
To once again use
this case with no solution.
I will sing our fado:
your case will be closed,
but our case, not.
