Full lyrics

Meu passarinho foi embora

Bateu asas e voou

Já estou contando as horas de rever o meu amor


Faz tato tempo

E hoje lembrei de você

Sem dor no peito

Relembrei o que passou

Na grama fina

Nos molhamos no sereno

Como cobra no veneno

Misturamos nosso amor


Eu viajei por muito tempo morena

Como o rio viajou

Carregando essa tristeza morena

Navegando minha dor

Mas o tempo foi passando

Você nunca mais voltou

E hoje a volta das lembranças

Me feriu e magoou


Faz tanto tempo

E eu só escuto em meu caminho

Na voz do vento

Teu cantar no meu quintal

E sei que o tempo

Foge do ressentimento

Pois o amor no pensamento

É quase sobrenatural

Translation

My little bird went away

Flapped its wings and flew

I'm already counting the hours to see my love again


It's been so long

And today I remembered you

Without pain in my chest

I recalled what happened

In the fine grass

We got wet in the dew

Like a snake in venom

We mixed our love


I traveled for a long time, brunette

Like the river traveled

Carrying this sadness, brunette

Navigating my pain

But time went by

You never came back

And today the return of memories

Wounded and hurt me


It's been so long

And I only hear on my path

In the voice of the wind

Your singing in my backyard

And I know that time

Escapes from resentment

Because love in thought

Is almost supernatural
