[English]

What is it that I forgot to do?

I didn't realize what happened

If I did wrong, what did I do?

I was happy with you

It’s too late now

I stayed quiet about what was asked

Few saw what we were

I'm looking for

Ah, it's been so long since I've been with you

You know, if you want, you can count on me

Say something if you’re thinking of coming back

I'm waiting for you and I’ll keep waiting

Ah, it's been so long since I've been with you

You know, if you want, you can count on me

Say something if you’re thinking of coming back

I'm waiting for you and I’ll keep waiting

We have things to talk about

What’s gone will never come back

I'll do everything to deserve it

This is really the time

Time feels so slow

The day isn't enough, I want to see to believe

To have you by my side and watch it happen

It’s going to be now

Ah, it's been so long since I've been with you

You know, if you want, you can count on me

Say something if you’re thinking of coming back

I'm waiting for you and I’ll keep waiting

Ah, it's been so long since I've been with you

You know, if you want, you can count on me

Say something if you’re thinking of coming back

I'm waiting for you and I’ll keep waiting

...

Let me tell you

Do as you wish

I can't do better

But I will do everything

Let me tell you

Do as you wish

I can't do better

But I will do everything

Ah, it's been so long since I've been with you

You know, if you want, you can count on me

Say something if you’re thinking of coming back

I'm waiting for you and I’ll keep waiting

Ah, it's been so long since I've been with you

You know, if you want, you can count on me

Say something if you’re thinking of coming back

I'm waiting for you and I’ll keep waiting

Ah, it's been so long since I've been with you

You know, if you want, you can count on me

Say something if you’re thinking of coming back

I'm waiting for you and I’ll keep waiting

[Portuguese]

O que é que faltou fazer?

Não me dei conta do que aconteceu

Se fiz errado o que é que me deu

Fui feliz contigo

Foi tarde demais

Fiquei à quem do que se pediu

Aquilo que fomos pouca gente viu

Procuro por

Ah, já muito tempo que não estou contigo

Sabes se quiseres podes contar comigo

Diz alguma coisa se pensares voltar

Estou à tua espera e vou continuar

Ah, já muito tempo que não estou contigo

Sabes se quiseres podes contar comigo

Diz alguma coisa se pensares voltar

Estou à tua espera e vou continuar

Temos coisas pra conversar

O que lá vai não voltará a ser

Vou fazer tudo para merecer

Desta é que é de vez

O tempo custa a passar

Não chega o dia e quero ver para crer

Ter-te ao meu lado e ver acontecer

Vai ser agora

Ah, já muito tempo que não estou contigo

Sabes se quiseres podes contar comigo

Diz alguma coisa se pensares voltar

Estou à tua espera e vou continuar

Ah, já muito tempo que não estou contigo

Sabes se quiseres podes contar comigo

Diz alguma coisa se pensares voltar

Estou à tua espera e vou continuar

Deixa que te diga

Faz como quiseres

Melhor eu não consigo

Mas tudo vou fazer

Deixa que te diga

Faz como quiseres

Melhor eu não consigo

Mas tudo vou fazer

Ah, já muito tempo que não estou contigo

Sabes se quiseres podes contar comigo

Diz alguma coisa se pensares voltar

Estou à tua espera e vou continuar

Ah, já muito tempo que não estou contigo

Sabes se quiseres podes contar comigo

Diz alguma coisa se pensares voltar

Estou à tua espera e vou continuar

Ah, já muito tempo que não estou contigo

Sabes se quiseres podes contar comigo

Diz alguma coisa se pensares voltar

Estou à tua espera e vou continuar
