[English]

I haven't told you yet

What I had to give you

But those who love keep trying

And today I will tell you

I haven't forgotten the moments

That you said were meant to last

Regrets

That I no longer want to remember

You don't speak to me anymore

I don't look at you anymore

This way, it just won't work anymore

I haven't told you yet

How much I wanted to fight for us

But those who love keep trying

And today I will tell you

I haven't forgotten the moments

That you said were meant to last

Regrets

That I no longer want to remember

You don't speak to me anymore

I don't look at you anymore

This way, it just won't work anymore

I think about us even when I don't want to

But it's no longer the same

Like it was some time ago

This way, it just won't work anymore

You don't speak to me anymore

I don't look at you anymore

This way, it just won't work anymore

You don't speak to me anymore

I don't look at you anymore

This way, it just won't work anymore

...

[Portuguese]

Eu ainda não te disse

O que tinha pra te dar

Mas quem ama persiste

E é hoje que eu te vou falar

Eu não esqueço os momentos

Que dizias que eram pra durar

Arrependimentos

Que eu já nem quero lembrar

Já não falas pra mim

Já não olho pra ti

Assim já não vai dar

Eu ainda não te disse

O quanto eu queria lutar

Mas quem ama persiste

E é hoje que eu te vou falar

Eu não esqueço os momentos

Que dizias que eram pra durar

Arrependimentos

Que eu já nem quero lembrar

Já não falas pra mim

Já não olho pra ti

Assim já não vai dar

Penso em nós mesmo que eu não queira

Mas já não da mesma maneira

Que há um tempo atrás

Assim já não vai dar

Já não falas pra mim

Já não olho pra ti

Assim já não vai dar

Já não falas pra mim

Já não olho pra ti

Assim já não vai dar
