Lyrics and translation Altemar Dutra - Ternura Antiga




Ternura Antiga
Ternura Antiga
Ai, a rua escura, o vento frio
Oh, the dark street, the cold wind
Esta saudade, este vazio
This longing, this emptiness
Esta vontade de chorar
This desire to cry
Ai, tua distância tão amiga
Oh, your distance, so familiar
Esta ternura tão antiga
This tenderness, so old
E o desencanto de esperar
And the disappointment of waiting
Sim, eu não te amo porque quero
Yes, I don't love you because I want to
Ah, se eu pudesse esqueceria
Oh, if I could, I would forget
Vivo, e vivo porque te espero
I live, and I live only because I wait for you
Ai, esta amargura, esta agonia
Oh, this bitterness, this agony
