[English]

Spring has gone

And with it my love

I wish I could

Fix everything I've done

The perfume that walked

With the wind through the air

Spring blowing

Towards a happier path

Happier

Because the rose that hides

In the most beautiful hair

Is a scream, almost a myth

A proof of love

...

Spring has gone

And with it this pain

Settled in my chest

Slowly

The certainty of love

Never leaves me again

Spring shining

In your eyes

And the look I keep

In my memory

Still brings the hope

Of having you by my side

In the next season

...

Spring has gone

And with it my love

I wish I could

Fix everything I've done

The perfume that walked

With the wind through the air

Spring blowing

Towards a happier path

Happier

Happier

Happier

Happier

Happier

Spring

Spring

Spring has gone

Spring has gone

...

[Portuguese]

Primavera se foi

E com ela meu amor

Quem me dera poder

Consertar tudo o que eu fiz

O perfume que andava

Com o vento pelo ar

Primavera soprando

Pr'um caminho mais feliz

Mais feliz

Pois a rosa que se esconde

No cabelo mais bonito

É um grito, quase um mito

Uma prova de amor

Primavera se foi

E com ela essa dor

Se alojou no meu peito

Devagar

A certeza do amor

Não me deixa nunca mais

Primavera brilhando

Em seu olhar

E o olhar que eu guardo

Na lembrança

Ainda traz a esperança

De te ter ao meu ladinho

Numa próxima estação

Primavera se foi

E com ela meu amor

Quem me dera poder

Consertar tudo o que eu fiz

O perfume que andava

Com o vento pelo ar

Primavera soprando

Pr'um caminho mais feliz

Mais feliz

Mais feliz

Mais feliz

Mais feliz

Mais feliz

Primavera

Primavera

Primavera se foi

Primavera se foi
