Detalhes

There's no use in trying to forget me
For a long time in your life
I will live

Such small details about us
Are too big to forget
And they will always be present
You will see

If another long-haired guy appears on your street
And this brings you memories of me
It's your fault

The loud rumble of your car
The old faded pants, or something like that
Immediately you will remember me

I know that another must be whispering in your ear
Words of love like I did, but I doubt
I doubt he has as much love
And even the mistakes in my bad Portuguese
And at that moment you will remember me

At night, surrounded by the silence
Of your room
Before sleeping you look for
My picture
But it's not me smiling from the frame
But you still see my smile
And all of this will make you
Remember me

If someone touches your body like I did
Don't say anything
Don't accidentally say my name
To the wrong person

Thinking you have love in that moment
Desperate, you try until the end
And even in that moment you
Will remember me

I know these details will fade away
On the long road
Of time that turns all love
Into almost nothing

But almost is also another detail
A great love won't die like that
That's why, from time to time, you will
Remember me

There's no use in trying to forget me
For a very, very, very long time in your life
I will live
No, it's no use trying
To forget me
