Eu sei que vou te amar
I know that I will love you
Por toda a minha vida eu vou te amar
For all of my life I will love you
A cada despedida eu vou te amar
With every goodbye I will love you
Desesperadamente
Desperately
Eu sei que vou te amar
I know that I will love you
E cada verso meu será
And every verse of mine will be
Pra te dizer
To tell you that
Que eu sei que vou te amar
I know that I will love you
Por toda minha vida
For all my life
Eu sei que vou chorar
I know that I will cry
A cada ausência tua eu vou chorar
With every absence of yours, I will cry
Mas cada volta tua há de apagar
But each return of yours will erase
O que essa ausência tua me causou
What this absence of yours has caused me
Eu sei que vou sofrer
I know I will suffer
A eterna desventura de viver
The eternal misfortune of living
À espera de viver ao lado teu
Waiting to live by your side
Por toda a minha vida
For all my life
Se soubesses o bem
If you knew the good
Eu sei que vou te amar
I know I will love you
Por toda a minha vida eu vou te amar
For all my life, I will love you
A cada despedida eu vou te amar
With each goodbye, I will love you
Desesperadamente
Desperately
Eu sei que vou te amar
I know I will love you
E cada verso meu será
And every verse of mine will be
Pra te dizer
To tell you
Que eu sei que vou te amar
That I know I will love you
Por toda minha vida
For all my life
Eu sei que vou chorar
I know I will cry
A cada ausência tua eu vou chorar
With each absence of yours, I will cry
Mas cada volta tua há de apagar
But each time you return, it will erase
O que essa ausência tua me causou
What your absence has caused me
Eu sei que vou sofrer
I know that I will suffer
A eterna desventura de viver
The eternal misfortune of living
À espera de viver ao lado teu
Waiting to live by your side
Por toda a minha vida
For all my life
