Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eu e o meu amor
E o meu amor
Que foi-se embora
Me deixando tanta dor
Tanta tristeza
No meu pobre coração
Que até jurou
Não me deixar

E foi-se embora
Para nunca mais voltar

Eu e o meu amor
E o meu amor
Que foi-se embora
Me deixando tanta dor
Tanta tristeza
No meu pobre coração

Não posso esquecer, O teu olhar
Longe dos olhos meus
Ai, o meu viver, É de esperar
Pra te dizer adeus

Mulher amada
Destino meu
É madrugada
Sereno dos meus olhos já correu

Não posso esquecer, O teu olhar
Longe dos olhos meus
Longe dos olhos meus

Não posso esquecer, O teu olhar
Longe dos olhos meus
Ai, o meu viver, É de esperar
Pra te dizer adeus

Mulher amada
Destino meu
É madrugada
Sereno dos meus olhos já correu

Não posso esquecer, O teu olhar
Longe dos olhos meus
Longe dos olhos meus

Mulher amada
Destino meu
É madrugada
Sereno dos meus olhos já correu

Não posso esquecer, O teu olhar

Longe dos olhos meus
Longe dos olhos meus
