Vai nesta canção
Go with this song
Meu último adeus
My last goodbye
Coração, sonha em vão
Heart, dream in vain
Com os beijos seus
With your kisses
Foi esta canção
It was this song
Que eu murmurei
That I whispered
Tu também, longe a mim
You too, far from me
Murmuraste, eu sei
Whispered back, I know
Há neste murmúrio uma saudade
There’s a longing in this murmur
A vontade louca de voltar
The wild desire to return
Ser como era antes, mesmo por instantes
To be as it was before, even for a moment
E depois morrer pra não chorar
And then die to avoid crying
Foi esta canção
It was this song
Que eu murmurei
That I whispered
Tu também, longe a mim
You too, far from me
murmuraste eu sei
whispered, I know
Há neste murmurio uma saudade
There is in this whisper a longing
A vontade louca de voltar
The crazy desire to return
Ser como era antes, mesmo por instantes
To be as it was before, even for a moment
E depois morrer pra não chorar
And then die to avoid crying
Vai, vai nesta canção
Go, go with this song
