I didn't learn to say goodbye
I don't know if I'll get used to it
Looking into your eyes like this
I know it will stay in mine
The mark of that gaze
I have nothing to say
Only silence will speak for me
I know how to keep my pain
And despite so much love
It will be better this way
I didn't learn to say goodbye
But I have to accept
That loves come and go
They are summer birds
If you have to leave me
Then be happy
I didn't learn to say goodbye
But I let you go
Without tears in my eyes
If the goodbye hurts me
Winter will pass
And erase the scar
I have nothing to say
Only silence will speak for me
I know how to keep my pain
And despite so much love
It will be better this way
I didn't learn to say goodbye
But I have to accept
That loves come and go
They are summer birds
If you have to leave me
Then be happy
I didn't learn to say goodbye
But I let you go
Without tears in my eyes
If the goodbye hurts me
Winter will pass
And erase the scar

Cicatriz translates to "scar". It's a poignant and evocative word that carries significant emotional weight, making it stand out in the lyrics.

In the context of the song, the singer expresses that even if saying goodbye causes pain, "o inverno vai passar e apaga a cicatriz" (the winter will pass and erase the scar). This metaphorical use of "scar" to represent emotional wounds, and the idea of time healing them, makes it a powerful and memorable word.

"Não Aprendi a Dizer Adeus" is a sertanejo classic about a breakup the singer never wanted, sung as a duet between Marília Mendonça and the sister duo Maiara & Maraisa.

The singer admits she never learned how to say goodbye and doesn't know how she'll get used to being without her partner. Rather than lash out, she chooses quiet dignity: she'll keep her pain to herself and let silence do the talking. She compares love to summer birds that come and go on their own schedule, so if he has to leave, she'll let him go without tears, hoping winter passes and the scar eventually fades.

It's a song about heartbreak handled with grace: hurting deeply while still wishing the other person well.
