Saudade

INDA QUE EU ME FECHE E JURE NUNCA MAIS TE VER
Even if I close myself and swear I see you no more

TENS O MEU SEGREDO E A CHAVE QUE ME ABRE EM TEU PODER
My secret you have, the key that opens me into your power

SABES COMO ENTRAR POR ONDE IR
You know how to enter … where to go

PORQUE NÃO APRENDES A SAIR DE MIM?
Why don’t you learn how to get out of me?


INDA QUE EU A SEQUE A FONTE VOLTA A MURMURAR
Even if I dry the fountain, it will come again

CONTRA A CORRENTEZA SOU TÃO FRACA NÃO POSSO NADAR
And against the current I’m so weak I cannot swim

TUAS ÁGUAS ME LEVANDO ASSIM
Your waters taking me like that

CADA VEZ MAIS PRA LONGE DE MIM
Each time more far away from me


INDA QUE EU APAGUE O FOGO VOLTA A SE ASCENDER
Even if I put it out, the fire lights again

E ESSA SAUDADE ESSA VONTADE DE TE VER
And this feeling of missing you, of seeing you

TUA CHAMA VAI QUEIMANDO ASSIM
Your flame goes burning like that

O POUCO DE PAZ QUE EXISTE EM MIM
This peace that is left inside me
