A saudade é uma estrada longa [English translation]

Yearning is a long road

That begins and has no more end

Your leagues go 'round the world

But don't come back from where I came

Yearning is a long road

That begins and has no more end

Each day it has more distances

Pushing you away from me

So many were the times

That we cheated each other

Other times we missed each other

Without even perceiving

Even without [a] reason I want to tell you

Without intent

To see it all get lost

It hurts so much, so much

Yearning is a long road

It is neither good nor bad

I'll go on continuing always ahead

I never return,

I am the same like that.

Yearning is a long road

That today passes inside of me

I armed myself only with hopes

But I used toy bullets

So many were the times

That we cheated each other

Other times we missed each other

Without even perceiving

Even without [a] reason I want to tell you

Without intent

To see it all get lost

It hurts so much, so much
