Full lyrics

Quando eu olho para o mar

Dentro do mar vejo um rio

Quando eu olho para o rio

Dentro do rio vejo a chuva

Quando eu olho para a chuva

É como se olhasse as nuvens

Quando eu olho para as nuvens

É como se olhasse o mar


Quando eu olho para mim

Dentro de mim tem você

Quando eu olho para você

Por dentro sinto saudades

Quando eu olho para a saudade

Meus olhos vão desaguando

E é como um rio passando

Que não corresse pro mar

Translation

When I look at the sea

Inside the sea I see a river

When I look at the river

Inside the river I see the rain

When I look at the rain

It's as if I were looking at the clouds

When I look at the clouds

It's as if I were looking at the sea


When I look at myself

Inside myself I have you

When I look at you

Inside I feel longing

When I look at longing

My eyes start to water

And it's like a river passing by

That wouldn't run to the sea
