Portuguese:
Quem acreditou, No amor, no sorriso, na flor, Entao sonhou, sonhou...
E perdeu a paz, O amor, o sorriso e a flor, Se transformam depressa demais
Quem, no coraçao, Abrigou a tristeza de ver, Tudo isto se perder
E, na solidao, Procurou um caminho e seguiu, Já descrente de um dia feliz
Quem chorou, chorou, E tanto que seu pranto já secou
Quem depois voltou, Ao amor, ao sorriso e à flor, Entao tudo encontrou
Pois, a própria dor, Revelou o caminho do amor, E a tristeza acabou
English:
In my loneliness, When you're gone and I'm all by myself, And I need your caress
I just think of you, And the thought of you holding me near, Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Though you're far away, I have only to close my eyes, And you are back to stay
I just close my eyes, And the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes I love you so, And that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you, Til the sun falls from out of the sky, For what else can I do
I will wait for you meditating, How sweet life will be, When you come back to me.
