Saudades

Wagner Roberto

Longing

It's been some time already
But it feels like it was yesterday
That you left and took our happiness
Like a leaf in the wind, like the water from the spring
That dried up, ended, you just left longing
It seems like this story isn't true
That it was all just a joke
That it just slept and hasn't woken up yet
And when it wakes up, I'll call your name
Quickly I'll dial your phone number
And on the other end you'll say hello

It's so hard to be without you
It's impossible to try to forget you
It's like time stopped
And doesn't want to pass anymore
But even so, I feel happy
Because I'm sure it was God's will
Your time came, He took you
So you could rest in peace

Today I turned on the radio to a station
They were playing that song
That I sang to you so many times
I remembered at this moment the moments we spent together
Of the happy days of the past
And once again, I cried with longing
