These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Se eu te pudesse fazer entender
If I could make you understand
Sem teu amor eu não posso viver
Without your love I can't live
Que sem nós dois o que resta sou eu
That without the two of us, i'm all that's left
Eu assim tão só
I'm so lonely
E eu preciso aprender a ser só
And I need to learn to be alone
Poder dormir sem sentir teu calor
Being able to sleep without feeling your warmth
A ver que foi só um sonho e passou
To see that it was just a dream and passed
Quando é demais ao findar leva a paz
When it's too much to end it takes peace
Me entreguei sem pensar
I gave myself up without thinking
Que a saudade existe e se vem
That longing exists and comes
É tão triste, vê
It's so sad, you see
Meus olhos choram a falta dos teus
My eyes weep at the lack of your
Esses teus olhos que foram tão meus
Those eyes of yours that were so mine
Por deus entenda que assim eu não vivo
By God understand that so I don't live
Eu morro pensando no nosso amor
I die thinking of our love
Por deus entenda que assim eu não vivo
By God understand that so I don't live
Eu morro pensando no nosso amor
I die thinking of our love
Quando é demais ao findar leva a paz
When it's too much to end it takes peace
Me entreguei sem pensar
I gave myself up without thinking
Que a saudade existe e se vem
That longing exists and comes
É tão triste, vê
It's so sad, you see
Meus olhos choram a falta dos teus
My eyes weep at the lack of your
Esses teus olhos que foram tão meus
Those eyes of yours that were so mine
Por deus entenda que assim eu não vivo
By God understand that so I don't live
Eu morro pensando no nosso amor
I die thinking of our love
