Assim que o dia amanheceu
As soon as the day dawned
Lá no mar alto da paixão
Out in the high sea of passion
Dava pra ver o tempo ruir
You could see time crumble
Cadê você
Where are you
Que solidão
What solitude
Esquecera de mim
You forgot about me
Enfim
At last
De tudo o que, há na terra
Of all that exists on earth
Não há nada em lugar nenhum
There's nothing anywhere
Que vá crescer
That will grow
Sem você chegar
Without you arriving
Longe de ti
Far from you
Tudo parou
Everything has come to a standstill
Ninguém sabe
No one knows
O que eu sofri
What I've suffered
Amar é um deserto
Loving is a desert
E seus temores
And your fears
Vida que vai na sela
Life that rides in the saddle
Dessas dores
Of these pains
Não sabe voltar
Doesn't know how to return
Me dá teu calor
Give me your warmth
Vem me fazer feliz
Come make me happy
Porque eu te amo
Because I love you
Você deságua em mim
You flow into me
E eu oceano
And I am the ocean
E esqueço que amar
And I forget that loving
É quase uma dor
Is almost a pain
Só sei viver
I only know how to live
Se for por você
If it's for you
Obrigado
Thank you
E aqui na esquerda, o nosso guitarrista
And here on the left, our guitarist
