IF YOU LEAVE
If you leave who will hug me like this
who will listen to me at the end of the day
who will console and calm me
as only you know how
And if you leave who will I wait for by the window
in a festive dress
to come hug me so,
when you arrive
When you leave go, I'll go out to the sun,
in the golden field, morning and evening,
the moon will light up my face
which dreams all day long of you
When you come back,
you'll carry me in your arms,
from the field to the river,
you'll wash my face and tell me words
as only you know how

| Se voc? partir |
Se voc? partir, quem ir? me abra?ar dessa forma?
Quem me ouvir? ao final do dia?
Quem ir? me confortar e me acalmar como apenas voc? sabe fazer?
E se voc? partir, por quem esperarei na janela, com um vestido de festa, para chegar e me abra?ar, assim como voc? sempre faz?
Quando voc? partir, vou sair para ver o sol no campo dourado, de manh? e ? noite.
A lua iluminar? meu rosto cujos sonhos s?o dedicados o dia inteiro ? voc?.
Quando voc? voltar, me carregar? com as duas m?os, do campo ao riacho, enxugar? as l?grimas de minha face e pronunciar? palavras assim como s? voc? sabe fazer.

| If You'll Leave |
If you’ll leave, who shall hold me this way?
Who will give heed when day ends?
Who shall comfort and calm me?
Only you know how…
If you’ll leave, who shall I wait for in the window in a festive dress?
Who, when he comes, shall hold me that way, like you always do?
When you’ll leave I shall head out to the sun, on the golden field, from dawn to night time
A moon will strike my dreaming face which long for you all day.
When you’ll return you’ll carry me in your arms from the field to the river,
Wash my face and tell me words
That only you know how…
