Enquanto eu corria

While I was running

Assim eu ia

That's how I went

Lhe chamar!

To call you!

Enquanto corria a barca

While the boat was running

Lhe chamar!

To call you!

Enquanto corria a barca

While the boat was running

Lhe chamar!

To call you!

Enquanto corria a barca

While the boat was running


Por minha cabeça não passava

It didn't cross my mind

Só! Somente só!

Alone! Only alone!

Assim vou lhe chamar

That's how I'll call you

Assim você vai ser

That's how you'll be

Só! Só! Somente só!

Alone! Alone! Only alone!

Assim você vai ser

That's how you'll be

Abre a porta e a janela

Open the door and the window

E vem ver o Sol nascer

And come see the Sun rise

Abre a porta e a janela

Open the door and the window

E vem ver o Sol nascer

And come see the Sun rise

Abre a porta e a janela

Open the door and the window

E vem ver o Sol nascer

And come see the Sun rise

Abre a porta e a janela

Open the door and the window

E vem ver o Sol nascer

And come see the Sun rise

Abre a porta e a janela

Open the door and the window

E vem ver o Sol nascer

And come see the Sun rise

Abre a porta e a janela

Open the door and the window

E vem ver o Sol nascer

And come see the Sun rise


Eu sou um pássaro

I am a bird

Que vivo avoando

That lives flying

Vivo avoando

Living, flying

Sem nunca mais parar

Without ever stopping

Ai, ai! Ai, ai! Saudade

Oh, oh! Oh, oh! Longing

Não venha me matar

Don't come to kill me

Ai, ai! Ai, ai! Saudade

Oh, oh! Oh, oh! Longing

Não venha me matar

Don't come to kill me

Ai, ai! Saudade

Oh, oh! Longing

Não venha me matar

Don't come to kill me

Ai, ai! Ai, ai! Saudade

Oh, oh! Oh, oh! Longing

Não venha me matar

Don't come to kill me


Lhe chamar!

To call you!
