Lyrics

Caía a chuva tão forte, aqui
Tudo negro em meu redor
A cidade adormecida, enfim
Sem ter planos p'ra ficar
Foi então que te encontrei
Num bar onde sem... pensar entrei
Fiquei abismado, louco, apaixonado
Sim... ooohhhh

Todas as noites procurei sem te encontrar
Tantas as noites que eu passei sem te alcançar
Correndo o mundo
Nesta estrada incerta
Um rio turvo
Sem te amar

Em tantos sonhos te perdi sem te tocar
Tantos os beijos que guardei para te dar
Correndo o mundo
Nesta estrada incerta
Um rio turvo
Sem te amar

Sem saber o que dizer, calei
Cabisbaixo então sorri
O olhar que devolveste foi
Algo que me fez corar assim
Foi então que perguntei
O teu nome que a...tento escutei
Fiquei abismado, louco, apaixonado
Sim... ooohhhh

Todas as noites procurei sem te encontrar
Tantas as noites que eu passei sem te alcançar
Correndo o mundo
Nesta estrada incerta
Um rio turvo
Sem te amar

Em tantos sonhos te perdi sem te tocar
Tantos os beijos que guardei para te dar
Correndo o mundo
Nesta estrada incerta
Um rio turvo
Sem te amar

Todas as noites procurei sem te encontrar
Tantas as noites que eu passei sem te alcançar
Correndo o mundo
Nesta estrada incerta
Um rio turvo
Sem te amar

Em tantos sonhos te perdi sem te tocar
Tantos os beijos que guardei para te dar
Correndo o mundo
Nesta estrada incerta
Um rio turvo
Sem te amar

English translation

The rain fell so strong
Many shadows all around me
Sleeping city
With no plans to stay
Then I found you
Without ever really hoping to find
Got astonished, crazy, in love
Yeah... ooohhhh

So many nights I searched without finding you
So many nights I searched without reaching you
Running across the world
In an uncertain road
A troubled river
Without loving you

In so many dreams I lost you without ever finding
So many kisses I kept to give you
Running across the world
In an uncertain road
A troubled river
Without loving you

Without knowing what to say... I hushed
Still a bit shy... I smiled
The look you gave me back was
Something that made me blush
And then I asked
Your name which carefully I listened
Got astonished, crazy, in love
Yeah... ooohhhh

So many nights I searched without finding you
So many nights I searched without reaching you
Running across the world
In an uncertain road
A troubled river
Without loving you

In so many dreams I lost you without ever finding
So many kisses I kept to give you
Running across the world
In an uncertain road
A troubled river
Without loving you

So many nights I searched without finding you
So many nights I searched without reaching you
Running across the world
In an uncertain road
A troubled river
Without loving you

In so many dreams I lost you without ever finding
So many kisses I kept to give you
Running across the world
In an uncertain road
A troubled river
Without loving you
