Saudade e carinho
Longing and affection
Ai que vontade de amar
Oh, how I long to love
Todo o amor tem o seu ninho
Every love has its nest
O meu amor onde andará?
Where has my love gone?
Saudade e carinho
Longing and affection
Ai que vontade de amar
Oh, how I long to love
Todo o amor tem o seu ninho
Every love has its nest
O meu amor onde andará?
Where has my love gone?
Tantos amores eu já tive
So many loves I've already had
Quantos amores mais terei?
How many more loves will I have?
Nem um porém comigo vive
No 'buts' ever live with me
Sozinha sempre viverei
Alone I will always live
Saudade e carinho
Longing and affection
Ai que vontade de amar
Oh, how I long to love
Todo o amor tem o seu ninho
All love has its nest
O meu amor onde andará?
Where will my love be?
Tantos amores eu já tive
So many loves I've already had
Quantos amores mais terei?
How many more loves will I have?
Nem um porém comigo vive
No 'buts' ever live with me
Sozinha sempre viverei
Alone I will always live
Tantos amores eu já tive
I've had so many loves
Quantos amores mais terei?
How many more will I have?
Nem um porém comigo vive
Not a single one stays with me
Sozinha sempre viverei
Alone I will always live
Saudade e carinho
Longing and affection
Ai que vontade de amar
Oh, how I long to love
Todo o amor tem o seu ninho
Every love has its nest
O meu amor onde andará?
Where has my love gone?
