Nova Ilusão
João Gilberto
New Illusion
We started over like this
Our happiness
No one would ever think
That friendship
Would come to an end again
But it lasted shortly after all
And this new illusion ended
And I don't know if for good or for bad
You left and didn't come back
Maybe it was destiny
The cause of this unhappy tune
Having you by my side again
Remembering all the vows I made
I was so pleased
To feel our love come back to life
I don't even know if I smiled or cried
I even struggled to believe
We started over like this
Our happiness
No one would ever think
That friendship
Would come to an end again
But it lasted shortly after all
This new illusion ended
And I don't know if for good or for bad
You left and didn't come back
You left and didn't come back
