Full lyrics

Do lado que relampeia

Do lado que a chuva vem

Ao vento que vem de lá

Traz notícia de meu bem


Se ela está dormindo agora

Ou se, de saudade, chora

Como eu choro também


Quem tem seu amor distante

Saudade, não sente à toa

Pois, agora, nesse instante

O meu pensamento voa


Voa nas asas do vento

Só deixando o sofrimento

Que o coração magoa


Cada vez que relampeia

Ribombeia' o trovão

Cada vez, meu peito sangra

Saudade não nego, não


Pois o bálsamo sangrando

É ter seu amor dum lado

Bem juntinho ao coração

Translation

From the side where it lightens

From the side where the rain comes

To the wind that comes from there

It brings news of my beloved


If she is sleeping now

Or if, from saudade, she cries

As I cry too


Whoever has their distant love

Saudade, they don't feel in vain

Because, now, at this instant

My thought flies


It flies on the wings of the wind

Only leaving the suffering

That wounds the heart


Every time it lightens

The thunder rumbles

Every time, my chest bleeds

Saudade I don't deny, no


For the bleeding balm

Is to have your love by my side

Very close to the heart
