Balada da Despedida
Estudantina Universitária de Coimbra
Farewell Ballad
Do you feel that time is up?
Spring of a sleeping flower
Something that doesn't come back, that flew
That was a river, a breath, in your life
And you carry within you
The cry of a ballad
Memories of a past
And the beating of the old goat
Black cloak of longing
At the moment of departure
Secrets of this city
I take with me for life
Black cloak of longing
At the moment of departure
Secrets of this city
I take with me for life
You know that the drawing of goodbye
Is a fire that burns us slowly
And in the slow closing of your eyes
Remains the hope of one day returning here
And you carry within you
The cry of a ballad
Memories of a past
And the beating of the old goat
Black cloak of longing
At the moment of departure
Secrets of this city
I take with me for life
Black cloak of longing
At the moment of departure
Secrets of this city
I take with me for life
Black cloak of longing
At the moment of departure
Secrets of this city
I take with me for life
