Sentado À Beira do Caminho
Erasmo Carlos
Sitting by the Wayside
I can't stay here waiting anymore
That one day suddenly you'll come back to me
I see trucks and cars hurriedly passing by me
I'm sitting by a road that has no end
My gaze gets lost in the dust of this sad road
Where the sadness and missing you still exist
This sun burning on my face a glimmer of hope
At least to see up close your gaze, that I keep in memory
I need to end this soon
I need to remember that I exist
That I exist, that I exist
The rain comes, wets my face and then I cry so much
My tears and the drops of this rain blend with my weeping
I look at myself, I search for me, and find nothing
I'm a poor remnant of hope on the roadside
I need to end this soon
I need to remember that I exist
That I exist, that I exist
Cars, trucks, dust, road, everything, everything merges in my mind
My shadow accompanies me and sees that I'm slowly dying
Only you don't see that I can't stay here alone anymore
Waiting my whole life for you sitting by the wayside
I need to end this soon
I need to remember that I exist
That I exist, that I exist
