LYRICS & TRANSLATION

(Voltarei p'ra ti)
(Esperarei por ti)
(Por te amar assim)
Voltarás p'ra mim
Esperarei por ti
Sofrerei por ti
Voltarei por ti
Vamos jogar até ao fim
Vamos começar assim, é agora a minha vez
Estou aqui e não me vês porque andas cego
Fingi que tenho outro amor para pôr no teu lugar
Agora fico a ganhar por…
Dois a um sem ti
Mas fiquei sem ti
Por te amar assim
Quem ri melhor chora no fim
O jogo já terminou, a noite também passou
Quem perdeu ou quem ganhou, eu já esqueci
Ai, jogo de sorte e de azar, o amor é como o mar
Tem marés de ir e voltar e…
Eu voltarei p'ra ti
Voltarei p'ra ti
Esperarei por ti
Voltarás p'ra mim
(Eѕperarei por ti)
Sofrerei por ti
Voltarei p'ra ti
Quem ri melhor chora no fim
Voltarei p'rа ti
