Full lyrics
Quando ao romper do dia
Ao ver a aurora
Sei que ao chegar a noite
Triste traidora
Tu me atinge a alma, ai
Mata, ai, a alegria
Mas a luz é a esperança
De um novo dia
Busco em teus olhares
Os sinais de amores, ai
E a segurança de que é a hora
Destes meus amores, ai
Quando perceberes
Pelos meus olhares, ai
Que eu estou aqui
E que noites tristes tem sido sem ti
Translation
When the day breaks
Seeing the dawn
I know that when night comes
Sad traitor
You strike my soul, oh
You kill, oh, the joy
But the light is the hope
Of a new day
I seek in your eyes
The signs of love, oh
And the assurance that it is time
For these loves of mine, oh
When you realize
Through my eyes, oh
That I am here
And that the sad nights have been without you
