Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

Olhas pra mim, mas não te sinto cá

You look at me, but I don't feel you here

Já não sorris, o que tens sei lá

You don't smile anymore, I don't know what's wrong

Se voltasses atrás no tempo, tentavas mudar

If you went back in time, you'd try to change

Hmm

Hmm

Íamos para outro lugar

We'd go to another place

Sei que não sou fácil, não importa

I know I'm not easy, it doesn't matter

Mas mesmo assim tu sabes dar a volta

But even so, you know how to turn things around

Tinhamos tudo pra dar

We had everything to give

Mas olho pra nós e vejo que é tarde

But I look at us and see that it's too late

Tinhamos tudo pra dar

We had everything to give

O que é que faltou para ser de verdade

What was missing to make it real

E agora, estou perdida porque foste embora

And now, I'm lost because you're gone

Fiquei sem chão e a contar as horas

I'm left without a ground and counting the hours

Pra saber se também estás assim

To know if you're feeling the same

Ohh

Ohh

Tinhamos pra dar, tinhamos tudo pra dar, tinhamos tudo pra dar

We had everything to give, we had everything to give, we had everything to give

E agora, o que queres não sei

And now, I don't know what you want

Fico á nora e sem saber quem

I'm left here, not knowing who you are

Se voltasse atrás no tempo, tentava mudar

If I went back in time, I'd try to change

Hmm

Hmm

Leváva-te para outro lugar

I'd take you to another place

Sei que não é fácil, não importa

I know it's not easy, it doesn't matter

Mas mesmo assim, tu sabes dar a volta

But even so, you know how to turn things around

Tinhamos tudo pra dar

We had everything to give

Mas olho pra nós e vejo que é tarde

But I look at us and see that it's too late

Tinhamos tudo pra dar

We had everything to give

O que é que faltou para ser de verdade

What was missing to make it real

E agora, estou perdido porque foste embora

And now, I'm lost because you're gone

Fiquei sem chão e a contar as horas

I'm left without a ground and counting the hours

Pra saber se também estás assim

To know if you're feeling the same

Tinhamos tudo sem ter nada

We had everything without having anything

Fomos um conto sem fadas

We were a story without a fairy tale

E eu já não sei quem és

And I don't know who you are anymore

Ohhh eihh

Ohhh eihh

Tinhamos tudo sem ter nada

We had everything without having anything

Fomos um conto sem fadas

We were a story without a fairy tale

E eu já não sei quem és

And I don't know who you are anymore

Tinhamos tudo pra dar

We had everything to give

Mas olho pra nós e vejo que é tarde

But I look at us and see that it's too late

Tinhamos tudo pra dar

We had everything to give

O que é que faltou para ser de verdade

What was missing to make it real

E agora, estou perdido porque foste embora

And now, I'm lost because you're gone

Fiquei sem chão e a contar as horas

I'm left without a ground and counting the hours

Pra saber se também estás assim

To know if you're feeling the same

Tinhamos tudo pra dar

We had everything to give

Tinhamos tudo pra dar

We had everything to give

(Tinhamos tudo pra dar)

(We had everything to give)

Yeah yeaah

Yeah yeaah

(Tinhamos tudo pra dar)

(We had everything to give)

Uuhhh uhh

Uuhhh uhh

(Tinhamos tudo pra dar)

(We had everything to give)
