Me dê noticia de você
Give me news of you
Eu gosto um pouco de chorar
I like to cry a little
A gente quase não se vê
We hardly see each other
Me deu vontade de lembrar
You made me want to remember
Me leve um pouco com você
Take me a little with you
Eu gosto de qualquer lugar
I like anywhere
A gente pode se entender
We can understand each other
E não saber o que falar
And not know what to say
Seria um acontecimento
It would be quite an event
Mas lógico que você some
But of course, you disappear
No dia em que o seu pensamento
On the day your thoughts
Me chamou
Called me
Eu chamo o seu apartamento
I call your apartment
Não mora ninguém com esse nome
No one lives there with that name
Que linda a cantiga do vento
How beautiful is the song of the wind
Já passou
It's already gone
A gente quase não se vê
We barely see each other
Eu só queria me lembrar
I just wanted to remember
Me dê noticia de você
Give me news of you
Me deu vontade de voltar
I felt like coming back
