Full lyrics
Amar é coisa boa
Só nunca foi pra mim
Ai, como amei à toa
Ai, como foi ruim
Se hoje vivo a esmo
Sem ter a quem clamar
Culpado sou eu mesmo
Por não saber amar
Translation
To love is a good thing
It just never was for me
Oh, how I loved in vain
Oh, how bad it was
If today I live aimlessly
Without having anyone to call out to
I myself am to blame
For not knowing how to love
