The live lyrics differ from the studio version. This is the studio version.
(Voltarei p'ra ti, esperarei por ti)
(Por te amar assim)
Voltarás p'ra mim?
(Esperarei por ti, sofrerei por ti)
(Voltarei por ti)
Vamos jogar até ao fim
Um, dois, três, vou começar
É agora a minha vez
Estou aqui e não me vês
Porque andas cego
Fingi que tenho outro amor
Para pôr no teu lugar
Agora fico a ganhar por dois a...
Um sem ti
Mas fiquei sem ti por te amar assim
Quem ri melhor chora no fim
O jogo já terminou, a noite também passou
Quem perdeu ou quem ganhou, eu já esqueci
Ai! Jogo de sorte e de azar, o amor é como o mar
Tem marés de ir e voltar e...
Eu voltarei p'ra ti, voltarei p'ra ti
Esperarei por ti
Voltarás p'ra mim?
(Esperarei por ti, sofrerei por ti)
(Voltarei para ti)
Tu voltarás p'ra mim
Voltarei p'ra ti, voltarei p'ra ti
Esperarei por ti
Voltarás p'ra mim?
(Esperarei por ti)[1]
(I'll come back to you, I'll wait for you)
(I'll love you just the same)
Will you come back to me?
(I'll wait for you, I'll suffer for you)
(I'll come back for you)
Let's play the game until the end
One, two, three, I'll begin
Now it's my turn
I'm standing here and you can't see
Because you've gone blind
I pretended I had another love
To replace you
Now you're winning by two to...
One without you
I lost you because I loved you this way
The one who laughs the most, cries in the end
The game is over, the night has gone by
Who lost or who won, I've already forgotten
Ah! Cat and mouse game, love is like the sea
With tides that come and go and...
I'll come back to you, I'll come back to you
I'll wait for you
Will you come back to me?
(I'll wait for you, I'll suffer for you)
(I'll come back to you)
You'll come back to me
I'll come back to you, I'll come back to you
I'll wait for you
Will you come back to me?
(I'll wait for you)
