Sinto sua falta
No posso esperar
Tanto tempo assim
Nosso amor novo
um velho amor
Ainda e sempre
No diga que no vem me ver
Ir ao cinema com voc
Um filme toa
No Path
Que culpa a gente tem de ser feliz
Que culpa a gente tem, meu bem
O mundo bem diante do nariz
Feliz aqui e no alm
Fao tanta coisa
Pensando no momento de te ver
A minha casa sem voc triste
A espera arde sem me aquecer
No diga que voc no volta
Eu no vou conseguir dormir
noite eu quero descansar
Sair toa por a
Que culpa a gente tem de ser feliz
Eu digo eles ou ns dois
O mundo bem diante do nariz
Feliz agora e no depois
Me sinto s, me sinto s, me sinto
To seu
Me sinto to, me sinto s e sou teu
The lyrics of "All Along The Watchtower" by The Bandits are in Portuguese, but the song is a cover of Bob Dylan's 1967 song of the same name. The lyrics are about missing someone and wanting them to come back. The singer cannot wait any longer for the person they love to return. They describe their love as both new and old, and something that will always be a part of them. The singer pleads with the person not to say that they will not come back. They want to rest at night and go to the cinema with the person they love. The singer does many things while thinking about the moment they will be reunited. Their house is sad without the other person, and the wait is unbearable.
The lyrics highlight the importance of love and how it can make a person feel complete. The singer feels lost and alone without the person they love, and everything they do is with the hope of being reunited. The last line of the song, "Me sinto tão, me sinto só e sou teu" translates to "I feel so, I feel lonely, and I am yours." This reaffirms the power of love and how it can change a person's life.
