São três da manha e a chuva cai nas ruas da cidade
Bate uma saudade no meu peito
Vejo se me endireito mas falta-me a vontade
Eu não sou eu se tu não estás
Se é o mar que nos separa
Vou secá-lo de saudade
E apertar-te contra o peito
Beijo feito de vontade
Ainda tenho as tuas mãos no meu rosto
E o gosto a mel da tua boca
Louca foi a noite em que te conheci
Triste a madrugada em que te perdi
Se é o mar que nos separa
Vou secá-lo de saudade
E apertar-te contra o peito
Beijo feito de vontade
Se é o mar que nos separa
Vou secá-lo de saudade
E apertar-te contra o peito
Beijo feito de vontade
Se é o mar que nos separa
It’s three in the morning and the rain falls on the city streets
Something’s missing deep inside of me
I try to straighten up, but I have no will to do it at all
I’m not myself if you’re not here
If it’s the sea that separates us
I’ll dry it up with longing
And press you against my chest
In a kiss made of yearning
I can still feel your hands on my face
And the taste of honey of your mouth
Crazy was the night when I met you
Sad was the dawn when I lost you
If it’s the sea that separates us
I’ll dry it up with longing
And press you against my chest
In a kiss made of yearning
If it’s the sea that separates us
I’ll dry it up with longing
And press you against my chest
In a kiss made of yearning
If it’s the sea that separates us
