Mas a verdade é que não tenho aqui relações com ninguém, você é o primeiro e creio que já notaram; mas eu não me importo com isso. Comovido, senti que a voz se me precipitava da garganta.

But the truth is that I have no relations here with anyone; you are the first, and I believe they have already noticed; but I don't care about that. Moved, I felt that the voice precipitated itself from my throat.
