[English]

Hello, answer, tell me what I did

Sometimes I don't know if it's you

Sitting here in the room, I see

A wall full of memories

In the living room, a packed suitcase

And love's tears fallen on the floor

Take your charger, take our blanket

That white wine no one drank

Take everything at once

Take everything I gave you

Take everything I dreamed of

Take everything at once

Take everything, go on

Take everything I gave you

Take everything I dreamed of

Take everything at once

Take, take, ah ah

Hello, answer, tell me what I did

Sometimes I don't know if it's you

Sitting here in the room, I see

A wall full of memories

In the living room, a packed suitcase

And love's tears fallen on the floor

Take your charger, take our blanket

That white wine no one drank

Take everything at once

Take everything I gave you

Take everything I dreamed of

Take everything at once

Take everything, go on (Go on)

Take everything I gave you (Take everything, go on)

Take everything I dreamed of (Take everything, go on)

Take everything at once (Take everything, go on)

Take, take

It's no use, no

Saying you understand what I'm feeling

So why aren't you here now, in my life

I don't know how to live anymore

I just want you here

Come save me

Come save me

Take everything I gave you

Take everything I dreamed of

Take everything at once

Take everything, go on

Take everything I gave you

Take everything I dreamed of

Take everything at once

Take everything, go on

Take, take everything at once (Take everything, go on)

(Take everything) Take, take everything I gave you

(That I gave you) Take, take everything I gave you

(That white wine) Take, take everything I gave you

[Portuguese]

Alô, atende, me fala o que eu fiz

Tem horas que eu não sei és tu

Sentado aqui no quarto, eu vejo

Uma parede cheia de recordações

Na sala uma mala feita

E lágrimas de amor caídas pelo chão

Leva o teu carregador, leva o nosso cobertor

Aquele vinho branco que ninguém tomou

Leva tudo de uma vez

Leva tudo o que eu te dei

Leva tudo o que eu sonhei

Leva tudo de uma vez

Leva tudo, vai logo

Leva tudo o que eu te dei

Leva tudo o que eu sonhei

Leva tudo de uma vez

Leva, leva, ah ah

Alô, atende, me fala o que eu fiz

Tem horas que eu não sei se é você

Sentado aqui no quarto, eu vejo

Uma parede cheia de recordações

Na sala uma mala feita

E lágrimas de amor caídas pelo chão

Leva o seu carregador, leva o nosso cobertor

Aquele vinho branco que ninguém tomou

Leva tudo de uma vez

Leva tudo o que eu te dei

Leva tudo o que eu sonhei

Leva tudo de uma vez

Leva tudo, vai logo (Vai logo)

Leva tudo o que eu te dei (Leva tudo, vai logo)

Leva tudo o que eu sonhei (Leva tudo, vai logo)

Leva tudo de uma vez (Leva tudo, vai logo)

Leva, leva

Não adianta, não

Dizer que tu entendes do que eu tô a sentir

Então porque é que agora tu não estás aqui, na minha vida

Eu não sei mais viver

Eu só te quero aqui

Venha me salvar

Venha me salvar

Leva tudo o que eu te dei

Leva tudo o que eu sonhei

Leva tudo de uma vez

Leva tudo, vai logo

Leva tudo o que eu te dei

Leva tudo o que eu sonhei

Leva tudo de uma vez

Leva tudo, vai logo

Leva, leva tudo de uma vez (Leva tudo, vai logo)

(Leva tudo) Leva, leva tudo o que eu te dei

(Que eu te dei) Leva, leva tudo o que eu te dei

(Aquele vinho branco) Leva, leva tudo o que eu te dei
