Lyrics[]
Sabe Deus que eu quis contigo ser feliz
Viver ao sol do teu olhar mais terno
Morto o teu desejo, vivo o meu desejo
Primavera em flor ao sol de inverno
Sonhos que sonhei, onde estão?
Horas que vivi, quem as tem?
De que serve ter coração e não ter o amor de ninguém?
Beijos que te dei, onde estão?
A quem foste dar o que é meu?
Vale mais não ter coração do que ter e não ter, como eu
Eu em troca de nada dei tudo na vida
Bandeira vencida, rasgada no chão
Sou a data esquecida, a coisa perdida que vai a leilão
Sonhos que sonhei, onde estão?
Horas que vivi, quem as tem?
De que serve ter coração e não ter o amor de ninguém?
Vivo de saudades, amor, a vida perdeu fulgor
Como o sol de Inverno não tenho calor
De que serve ter coração e não ter o amor de ninguém?
Vivo de saudades, amor, a vida perdeu fulgor
Como o sol de Inverno não tenho calor[1]
God knows that I wanted to be happy with you
To live in the sunlight of your most tender look
Now your desire is dead, I live my own desire
Blooming spring in the winter sun
Dreams that I dreamt, where are they?
Hours that I lived, who has them?
What's the use of having a heart, and not having anyone's love?
Kisses that I gave you, where are they?
Who have you given what belonged to me?
It's better not to have a heart, than having it and not having it, like me
I bartered everything in my life for nothing
Defeated flag, torn in the ground
I'm the forgotten date, the lost thing that goes on auction
Dreams that I dreamt, where are they?
Hours that I lived, who has them?
What's the use of having a heart, and not having anyone's love?
I live of longings, my love, my life has lost the splendour
Like a winter sun I have no warmth
What's the use of having a heart, and not having anyone's love?
I live of longings, my love, my life has lost the splendour
Like a winter sun I have no warmth
