[English]

I should have forgotten by now.

Everything that happened.

Your photos are still here.

Some people live in the past, and as for me.

You don't leave my mind, you're always close.

What was once clear, I don't even know if it's right anymore.

Because the wrong things also repeat,

if you leave me like this.

Emotional.

Emotional.

I know you're alone.

I don't see you with anyone.

I hope it's everything you're looking for.

I hope it serves your purpose.

I stay here just to be close.

There are things I'm starving for.

Because the wrong things also repeat.

If you leave me like this.

Emotional.

We used to be more than we are, and the loose ends here.

Make me afraid of what is yet to come.

It can't be any less, and to give in, give in.

All that's left for me is to be.

Emotional.

I'll stay.

Emotional.

I'll stay.

Emotional.

I'll stay.

Emotional.

I'll stay.

Emotional.

Emotional.

[Portuguese]

Devia já ter esquecido.

Tudo o que aconteceu.

As tuas fotos ainda estão aqui.

Mas de passado vivem uns, pois eu.

Não sais daqui, estás sempre perto.

O que era claro, eu já nem sei se é certo.

É que o errado também se repete,

se me deixar assim.

Sei que estás sozinha.

Não te vejo com ninguém.

Que seja tudo o que procuras.

Que sirva para o que convém.

Eu fico aqui para estar por perto.

Há coisas pelas quais eu estou deserto.

É que o errado também se repete.

Se me deixar assim.

Emocional.

Já fomos mais do que somos e as pontas soltas aqui.

Fazem-me ter receio do que ainda está por vir.

Menos, já não dá para ser, e ceder, ceder.

Só me resta ser.

Eu fico.
