Adeus
Goodbye
Vou pra não voltar
I'm leaving never to return
E onde quer que eu vá
And wherever I go
Sei que vou sozinha
I know I'll be alone
Tão sozinha, amor
So alone, my love
Nem é bom pensar
It's not good to think
Que eu não volto mais
That I won't come back again
Deste meu caminho
From this path of mine
Ah! Pena eu não saber
Ah! It's a pity I don't know
Como te contar
How to tell you
Que o amor foi tanto
That love was so much
E no entanto, eu queria dizer
And yet, I wanted to say
Vem
Come
Eu só sei dizer vem
I only know how to say come
Nem que seja só pra dizer adeus
Even if it's just to say goodbye
Ah! Pena eu não saber
Ah! It's a shame I don't know
Como te contar
How to tell you
Que o amor foi tanto
That love was so much
E no entanto, eu queria dizer
And yet, I wanted to say
Vem
Come
Eu só sei dizer vem
I only know how to say come
Nem que seja só pra dizer adeus
Even if it's just to say goodbye
