Nelson Fogaça de Almeida writes to BtP from Brazil As promised I'm emailing you the info on a recording version for Homburg. The recording, by Agnoldo Timotei, called A Hora do Amor, was launched in the fourth semester of 1968 by Indústrias Elétricas e Musicais Fábrica Odeon SA, a former subsidiary of EMI Records Limited. Such a stereo recording was inserted in a Long Playing no. SMOFB-3556, and the lyrics, in Brazilian-Portuguese idiom, was written by Geraldo Figueiredo. Literal translation below is by NF Almeida.

A Hora do Amor |
Loving Time |
|
Há quanto tempo estou chorando |
How long I've been weeping |
|
Todo dia toda hora |
Every day every hour |
|
Tudo mudou de repente |
Every thing changed suddenly |
|
Já não vivo como outrora |
I can't live as before no more |
|
Meu amor está tão longe |
My babe has been so far |
|
E até já me esqueceu |
And she has just forgotten me |
|
O relógio lá da praça |
And the clock over there the Square |
|
Não se cansa de marcar |
It doesn't get tired of signalling |
|
O tempo de sofrer |
Suffering time |
|
O tempo de esperar |
Awaiting time |
|
Mas nunca ele pode |
But it can never signal |
|
A hora de amar |
Loving time |
|
E deste modo solitário |
And in a solitary way |
|
Sem motivos p'ra viver |
With no reason to live |
|
Vou seguindo meu caminho |
I'll keep on tracking my way |
|
Só lembrando de você |
Just remembering of her [you] |
|
Meu amor está tão longe |
My babe has been so far |
|
E até já me esqueceu |
And she has just forgotten me |
|
E o relógio lá da praça |
And the clock over there the Square |
|
Se ela um dia escutar |
If some day she listens to it |
|
Por certo entenderá |
Surely she'll realize |
|
Que estou a lhe chamar |
That I've been hailing her |
|
P'ra viver outra vez |
To live again |
|
A hora de amar |
Loving time |
