[English]

I went to the capital, drove an hour and some on the road

Walked past so many people, still felt alone

Next time you come visit me in Alentejo

It’s been a month since I was there, over a month since I’ve seen you

I saved you a seat at the table

I showered and shaved

I just wanted to be sure you’d come back one day

Love, I’ve thought about going to watch the sunset

If you think Lisbon’s big, the Alentejo’s even bigger

Love, I’ve thought about

Going to watch the sunset

We’ve been out of sync like the Sun and the Moon

I know it’s not my fault, I know it’s not yours

It’s just that I’ve made so many plans, all counting on you

And no matter how many years pass, I can’t be just your friend

I saved you a seat at the table

I showered and shaved

I just wanted to be sure you’d come back one day

Love, I’ve thought about going to watch the sunset

If you think Lisbon’s big, the Alentejo’s even bigger

Love, I’ve thought about

Going to watch the sunset

Love, I’ve thought about going to watch the sunset

If you think Lisbon’s big, the Alentejo’s even bigger

Love, I’ve thought about

Love, I’ve thought about going to watch the sunset

If you think Lisbon’s big, the Alentejo’s even bigger

Love, I’ve thought about

Going to watch the sunset

[Portuguese]

Fui até à capital, fiz uma hora e tal de caminho

Passei por tanta gente, senti-me sempre sozinho

Pra próxima vens tu visitar-me ao Alentejo

Há um mês que aí não vou, há mais de um mês que eu não te vejo

Deixei-te um lugar à mesa

Tomei banho e fiz a barba

Eu só quis ter a certeza que um dia voltavas

Amor eu já pensei ir ver o pôr do sol

Se achas Lisboa grande, o Alentejo ainda é maior

Amor eu já pensei

Ir ver o pôr do sol

Andamos desencontrados tal como o Sol e a Lua

Sei que a culpa não é minha, sei que a culpa não é tua

É que eu já fiz tantos planos, todos a contar contigo

E por mais que passem anos, não sei ser só teu amigo

Deixei-te um lugar à mesa

Tomei banho e fiz a barba

Eu só quis ter a certeza que um dia voltavas

Amor eu já pensei ir ver o pôr do sol

Se achas Lisboa grande, o Alentejo ainda é maior

Amor eu já pensei

Ir ver o pôr do sol

Amor eu já pensei ir ver o pôr do sol

Se achas Lisboa grande, o Alentejo ainda é maior

Amor eu já pensei

Amor eu já pensei ir ver o pôr do sol

Se achas Lisboa grande, o Alentejo ainda é maior

Amor eu já pensei

Ir ver o pôr do sol
