Deixe-me ir, preciso andar
Let me go, I need to walk
Vou por aí a procurar, sorrir pra não chorar
I'm out there looking, smiling not to cry
Deixe-me ir, preciso andar
Let me go, I need to walk
Vou por aí a procurar, rir pra não chorar
I'm out there looking, laughing not to cry
Quero assistir ao sol nascer
I want to watch the sun rise
Ver as águas dos rios correr
See the waters of the rivers flow
Ouvir os pássaros cantar
Hear the birds sing
Eu quero nascer, quero viver
I want to be born, I want to live
Deixe-me ir, preciso andar
Let me go, I need to walk
Vou por aí a procurar, sorrir pra não chorar
I'm out there looking, smiling not to cry
Se alguém por mim perguntar
If someone asks about me
Diga que eu só vou voltar depois que me encontrar
Say that I'll only return after I find myself
Quero assistir ao sol nascer
I want to watch the sun rise
Ver as águas dos rios correr
See the waters of the rivers flow
Ouvir os pássaros cantar
Hear the birds sing
Eu quero nascer, quero viver
I want to be born, I want to live
Deixe-me ir, preciso andar
Let me go, I need to walk
Vou por aí a procurar, sorrir pra não chorar
I'm out there looking, smiling so I won't cry
(Deixe-me ir preciso andar)
(Let me go, I need to walk)
(Vou por aí a procurar, sorrir pra não chorar)
(I'm out there looking, smiling so I won't cry)
Deixe-me ir preciso andar
Let me go, I need to walk
Vou por aí a procurar, sorrir pra não chorar
I’ll wander around searching, smiling to avoid tears
(Deixe-me ir preciso andar)
(Let me go, I need to walk)
(Vou por aí a procurar, sorrir pra não chorar)
(I’ll wander around searching, smiling to avoid tears)
