Lyrics[]
Há dias assim
Que nos deixam sós
A alma vazia
A mágoa na voz
Gastámos as mãos
Tanto as apertámos
Já não há palavras
Foi de tanto as calarmos
Há uma canção
Que não te cantei
Versos por rimar
Poemas que nunca inventei
Quem nos pôs assim?
A vida rasgada
Quem te me levou
Roubou-me a alma
Mas de ti não sabe nada
Há dias assim
Não há que esconder
Recear palavras
Amar ou sofrer
Ocultar sentidos
Fingir que não há
Há dias perdidos
Entre cá e lá
Há uma canção
Que não te cantei
Versos por rimar
Poemas que nunca inventei
Quem nos pôs assim?
A vida rasgada
Quem te me levou
Roubou-me a alma
Mas de ti não sabe nada
Sei que um dia saberás
Que a vida é uma só
Não volta atrás
Quem nos pôs assim?
A vida rasgada
Quem te me levou
Roubou-me a alma
Mas de ti não sabe nada[1]
There are such days
That leave us alone
The soul empty
The hurt in our voice
We wore away our hands
We hold them tight so much
There are no words anymore
Because we kept quiet so much
There is a song
Which I have not sung to you
Verses that are still to rhyme
Poems that I have never invented
Who set us this way?
The life torn
Who took you from me?
Stole my soul
But does not know a thing about you
There are such days
There is no need to hide
Fear words
To love or to suffer
To hide senses
To pretend they do not exist
There are lost days
Here and there
There is a song
Which I have not sung to you
Verses that are still to rhyme
Poems that I have never invented
Who set us this way?
The life torn
Who took you from me?
Stole my soul
But does not know a thing about you
I know one day you will know
That life is only one
It does not turn back
Who set us this way?
The life torn
Who took you from me?
Stole my soul
But does not know a thing about you
