Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Ruga by Marco Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
Ruga que se nota bem ao espelho
Wrinkle that is well noticed in the mirror
Discreta, oferece o seu conselho
Discreet, offers your advice
Sem que se note a falta de pudor
Without noticing the lack of modesty
Suavemente, fala-lhe de amor
Gently, speak to him of love
Sem que se note a falta de pudor
Without noticing the lack of modesty
Suavemente, fala-lhe de amor
Gently, speak to him of love
E pede-lhe que esqueça o sentimento
And ask him to forget the feeling
Que já lhe trouxe tanto sofrimento
That has already brought you so much suffering
Pois se ninguém a quis p'ra todo o sempre
For if no one wanted it all the time
Porque será agora tão diferente?
Why is it so different now?
Pois se ninguém a quis p'ra todo o sempre
For if no one wanted it all the time
Porque será agora tão diferente?
Why is it so different now?
E segue o seu discurso preparado
And follow his prepared speech
P'ra quando aparece o namorado
P'ra when the boyfriend appears
Agora é raro alguém a visitar
Now it's rare for someone to visit
Sabendo que ela já não quer amar
Knowing she no longer wants to love
Agora é raro alguém a visitar
Now it's rare for someone to visit
Sabendo que ela já não quer amar
Knowing she no longer wants to love
A ruga vê-se, enfim, vitoriosa
The wrinkle is seen, at last, victorious
Depois de ver chorar a dona rosa
After seeing the pink owner cry
Não lhe quer mal, mas não quer dividir
You don't want to hurt him, but you don't want to share
A cara com as rugas de sorrir
The face with the wrinkles of smiling
Não quer ter a alegria tão vizinha
Don't want to have joy so neighboring
Quer continuar sozinha, sem ter de dividir
You want to go on alone, without having to share
A cara com as rugas de sorrir
The face with the wrinkles of smiling
