Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que chego a desesperar
Chorei tanto, estou tão triste
Que já nem sei mais chorar
Oh, meu amado, não parta
Não parta de novo
Há uma partida que não tem fim
Não há nada que conforte
A falta dos olhos teus
Pensa que a saudade
Mais do que a própria morte
Pode matar-me
Adeus
Oh, meu amado, não parta
Não parta de mim
Há uma partida que não tem fim
Não há nada que conforte
A falta dos olhos teus
Pensa que a saudade
Mais do que a própria morte
Pode matar-me
Adeus

The longing for her beloved's presence is unbearable, and nothing can comfort the absence of his eyes.
