saudade, saudade
Lyrics:
[English]
I've tried to write a million other songs, but
Somehow I can't move on
Oh, you're gone
Takes time, alright, and I know it's no one's fault, but
Somehow I can't move on
Oh, you're gone
Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way
Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way
Tem tanto que trago comigo
Foi sempre o meu porto de abrigo
E agora nada faz sentido
perdi o meu melhor amigo
E se não for demais
peço por sinais
Resta uma só palavra
Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way
Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way
I've tried, alright
But it's killing me inside
Thought you'd be by my side always
...
