Full lyrics

Na carta perfumada que deixaste sobre a mesa

Tenho a certeza de tua traição

Minhas lágrimas caíam teimosas

Sobre as folhas cor-de-rosa escritas por tua mão


Partiste mas minha alma seguirá teus passos

Onde estiveres, eu estarei contigo

Hás de guardar uma saudade minha

Tua lembrança ficará comigo


Não penses mais em mim

Seria inútil, pois nunca te amei

O que houve entre nós dois foi apenas fantasia

Nosso passado terminou como termina

Todas as ilusões

Doravante seguiremos caminhos diferentes

Não me procures, seria uma desilusão a mais.


E esta palavra, no fim da carta

Manchada pelo pranto meu

Esta palavra que me tortura é adeus.

Translation

In the perfumed letter you left on the table

I have the certainty of your betrayal

My tears fell stubbornly

On the pink sheets written by your hand


You left but my soul will follow your steps

Wherever you are, I will be with you

You will keep a saudade of me

Your memory will stay with me


Don't think of me anymore

It would be useless, for I never loved you

What happened between us two was just fantasy

Our past ended as all illusions end

From now on we will follow different paths

Don't look for me, it would be one more disappointment.


And this word, at the end of the letter

Stained by my weeping

This word that tortures me is goodbye.
