Say that you no longer think you're the same

Maybe if you saw what I carry inside
_____
Maybe if you stopped criticizing
_____
Maybe if you saw that nothing is eternal
You wouldn't cry to change

I live longing for something that's already gone
_____
When I dream I'm always awake
_____
I feel that the farther I get away
Prisoner of all my memories
There's no present to see
_____
And it hurts to long for what's already gone
_____
Too much sodade, too much sodade
_____
Maybe if you saw what I carry inside
_____
Maybe if you stopped criticizing
_____
Maybe if you saw that nothing is eternal
You wouldn't cry to change
_____
I don't think that you understand everything that I feel
_____
I live longing for something that's already gone
_____
When I dream I'm always awake
_____
Sodade from my land São Nicolau
_____
Sodade from my land São Nicolau
I don't know where to find
_____

And I don't know if I'll go back
_____
Sodade from my land São Nicolau
