Mais do que água na cachoeira
More than water in the waterfall
Depois que ela me abandonou
After she left me behind
Meu pranto rolou
My tears rolled down
Mais do que água na cachoeira
More than water in the waterfall
Depois que ela me abandonou
After she left me behind
Na minha vila tranquila
In my peaceful village
A vida eu levava
I used to live life
E nessa felicidade
And in that happiness
A verdade eu não via
I couldn't see the truth
Ela vivia dizendo
She kept saying
Não vou te deixar
I won't let you go
Ela queria fazer o meu pranto rolar
She wanted to make my tears fall
E o meu pranto rolou
And my tears fell
Meu pranto rolou
My tears fell
Mais do que água na cachoeira
More than water in the waterfall
Depois que ela me abandonou
After she left me
Meu pranto rolou
My tears fell
Mais do que água na cachoeira
More than water in the waterfall
Depois que ela me abandonou
After she left me
Na minha vila tranquila
In my quiet village
A vida eu levava
I was living life
E nessa felicidade
And in that happiness
A verdade eu não via
I did not see the truth
Ela vivia dizendo
She kept saying
Não vou te deixar
I won't leave you
Ela queria fazer o meu pranto rolar
She wanted to make my tears flow
E o meu pranto rolou
And my tears flowed
Meu pranto rolou
My tears flowed
Mais do que água na cachoeira
More than water in the waterfall
Depois que ela me abandonou
After she left me
