Say that everything looks different
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 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
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
I've stayed on the other side
And I don't know if I'll go back
Sodade from my land São Nicolau
