Por que chora, a tarde - Why cry in the afternoon

Why do you cry, in the afternoon your mourning grieves the way
Why do you cry, if you have the beauty of the sun and the flower
Why cry, the afternoon knowing there is another day
And the joy after the storm, it's sunny day.

Why do you cry, the afternoon in the river sprinkling your bed
Why do you cry, screaming in the wind Anguishes and pain
Is that the afternoon already knows that someone has carried my affection
I understand that the afternoon also sobs of love

The afternoon is crying for you.
Why do you watch the loneliness on my way?
The afternoon saddened with me.
And I need this afternoon as a shelter.

The afternoon is crying for you.
She knows that love is gone forever.
Your footsteps are disappearing down the road.
And this rain makes the afternoon so wet
