Full lyrics

Prometo não voltar a sua porta

Para mim você é morta

Eu também a quanto tempo já morri

Prefiro amargar minha derrota

Do que voltar mais humilhado do que quando eu parti


Pode, pode, pode rir

Vai rindo enquanto a sorte lhe ajuda

Quando a fortuna esquecer seu endereço

Não vou rir do seu tropeço

E ai a coisa muda

Serão trocados os papeis

Pois o destino é gozador

Quem hoje gargalha

Amanha pode amargar o desamor

Translation

I promise not to return to your door

To me, you are dead

I too have been dead for how long

I prefer to taste the bitterness of my defeat

Than to return more humiliated than when I left


You can, you can, you can laugh

Keep laughing while luck helps you

When fortune forgets your address

I won't laugh at your stumble

And then things change

The roles will be reversed

For destiny is a joker

Whoever laughs today

Tomorrow may taste the bitterness of unlove
