A sorrir, eu pretendo levar a vida
Smiling, I intend to live my life
Pois chorando, eu vi a mocidade perdida
For crying, I saw the lost youth
A sorrir, eu pretendo levar a vida
Smiling, I intend to live my life
Pois chorando, eu vi a mocidade perdida
For crying, I saw the lost youth
Finda a tempestade
The storm is over
O sol nascerá
The sun will rise
Finda esta saudade
This longing will end
Hei de ter outro alguém para amar
I shall have someone else to love
A sorrir, eu pretendo levar a vida
Smiling, I intend to live my life
Pois chorando, eu vi a mocidade perdida
For crying, I saw the lost youth
A sorrir, eu pretendo levar a vida
Smiling, I intend to carry on with life
Pois chorando, eu vi a mocidade perdida
For crying, I saw the youth lost
