Sem querer te perdi tentando te encontrar
I didn't want to lose you trying to find you
Por te amar demais sofri, amor
For loving you too much I suffered, love
Me senti traído e traidor
I felt betrayed and traitorous
Fui cruel sem saber que entre o bem e o mal
I was cruel without knowing that between good and evil
Deus criou um laço forte, um nó
God created a strong bond, a knot
E quem viverá um lado só?
And who will live one side?
A paixão veio assim afluente sem fim
The passion came so endless affluent
Rio que não deságua
River that does not flow
Aprendi com a dor nada mais é o amor
I learned from pain nothing else is love
Que o encontro das águas
That the meeting of the waters
Hoje vai pra nunca mais voltar
Today you're never going to come back
Como faz o velho pescador quando sabe que é a vez do mar
Like the old fisherman does when he knows it's the sea's turn
Qual de nós
Which one of us
Foi buscar o que já viu partir, quis gritar, mas segurou a voz
He went to get what he'd seen go, wanted to scream, but he held his voice
Quis chorar, mas conseguiu sorrir?
You wanted to cry, but you managed to smile?
Did you know?
