No domingo eu li sua carta imensa
On Sunday, I read your immense letter
Contando tudo
Telling everything
A primeira vez que eu soube o que pensa
The first time I knew what you were thinking
Soube de tudo
Knew everything
E fiquei como quem não vive no mundo
And I remained like someone who doesn't live in the world
E daí esse meu silêncio profundo
And so this deep silence of mine
Eu senti que a tristeza ia chegar e mudar
I felt that sadness was coming and would change
Ia tomar meu coração
It was going to take my heart
Hoje não sei mais o que penso
Today I no longer know what I'm thinking
Quero o que procuro
I want what I'm seeking
Eu queria tanto viver contigo o meu futuro
I wanted so much to live my future with you
Mas às vezes a coisa assim acontece
But sometimes things just happen that way
Aparece, parece, para, aparece
It appears, seems, stops, appears
Hoje nada mais resta além de esperar
Today there's nothing left but to wait
Para ver alguma coisa acontecer
To see something happen
E chegar um novo dia
And a new day arrives
E o silêncio acabar e um novo dia
And the silence ends and a new day
