[English]

Tell me about you

Let me know what’s left behind

I'm still here

Let me tell you what has changed

It's just that the nights are longer, and I don't realize

Days go by, and I can't forget you

But tell me about you

Let me know what was missing

Tell me about you

...

Tell me about you

...

Let me know what’s left behind

I'm still here

Let me tell you what has changed

It's just that the nights are longer, and I don't realize

Days go by, and I can't forget you

But tell me about you

Let me know what was missing

Tell me about you

About you

About you

About you

Tell me about you

Today I saw everything that changes, it won't come back

I crossed the line but didn't follow the route

I'm searching but didn't seek answers, you don't come back

The nights are longer, and I don't realize

Days pass, and I can't forget you

But tell me about you

Let me know what was missing

Tell me about you

...

Tell me about you

...

Let me know what’s left behind

I'm still here

Let me tell you what has changed

It's just that the nights are longer, and I don't realize

Days go by, and I can't forget you

But tell me about you

Let me know what was missing

Tell me about you

About you

About you

About you

Tell me about you

About you

About you

About you

Tell me about you

[Portuguese]

Fala-me de ti

Deixa-me saber o que restou

Ainda estou aqui

Deixa-me dizer-te o que mudou

É que as noites são mais longas e eu sem perceber

Os dias a passar e eu sem te esquecer

Mas fala-me de ti

Deixa-me saber o que faltou

Fala-me de ti

Fala-me de ti

Deixa-me saber o que restou

Ainda estou aqui

Deixa-me dizer-te o que mudou

É que as noites são mais longas e eu sem perceber

Os dias a passar e eu sem te esquecer

Mas fala-me de ti

Deixa-me saber o que faltou

Fala-me de ti

De ti

De ti

De ti

Fala-me de ti

Hoje vi tudo o que muda já não volta

Pisei o risco mas nem percorri a rota

Estou numa busca mas nem procurei respostas, não voltas

As noites são mais longas e eu sem perceber

Os dias a passar e eu sem te esquecer

Mas fala-me de ti

Deixa-me saber o que faltou

Fala-me de ti

Fala-me de ti

Deixa-me saber o que restou

Ainda estou aqui

Deixa-me dizer-te o que mudou

É que as noites são mais longas e eu sem perceber

Os dias a passar e eu sem te esquecer

Mas fala-me de ti

Deixa-me saber o que faltou

Fala-me de ti

De ti
