LYRICS & TRANSLATION

Como tudo o que acaba
Como pedra rolando duma fraga
Como fumo subindo no ar
Assim estou quase indiferente
Caminhando sem mais notar a gente
Que por mim vejo passar
O Verão já terminou
Foi um sonho que findou
Não interessa mais pensar
Assim deixo esta tristeza
Vogando embalado na certeza
Que o Verão há-de voltar
E o Verão que sonho perto
Vai trazer para mim eu sei de certo
Aquilo que eѕte agora veio tirаr
