Tá fazendo um ano e meio, amor
It's been a year and a half, my love
Que o nosso lar desmoronou
Since our home crumbled down
Meu sabiá, meu violão
My little songbird, my guitar
E uma cruel desilusão
And a cruel disillusionment
Foi tudo que ficou
That's all that remains
Ficou
Remains
Pra machucar meu coração
To hurt my heart
Tá fazendo um ano e meio, amor
It's been a year and a half, my love
Que o nosso lar desmoronou
Since our home crumbled down
Meu sabiá, meu violão
My little songbird, my guitar
E uma cruel desilusão
And it's a cruel disillusion
Foi tudo que ficou
That's all that remained
Ficou
Remained
Pra machucar meu coração
To hurt my heart
Quem sabe, não foi bem melhor assim
Who knows, maybe it was better this way
Melhor pra você e melhor pra mim
Better for you and better for me
A vida é uma escola
Life is a school
Que a gente precisa aprender
That we need to learn
A ciência de viver pra não sofrer
The science of living to avoid suffering
