Tereza

Eu perdi você em Jericoacoara.
I lost you in jericoacoara.
Eu perdi você em floresta da Tijuca.
I lost you in floresta tijuca.
Eu perdi você em todas as partes do país.
I lost you in every part of the country.
Eu não ouvi, não ouvi,
I didn’t hear, didn’t listen,
Não olhar para você - que era eu que era eu que era eu
Didn’t look for you--it was me it was me it was me

Era eu, era minha grande perda
It was me, it was my big loss
Era eu, era meu próprio deserto
It was me, it was my own desert
Era eu, por nenhuma razão em tudo -
It was me, for no reason at all--
Foi apenas a minha natureza
It was just my nature

Você me deixou em Fortaleza, eu me perdi em paredes vazias.
You left me in fortaleza; I lost myself in empty walls.
Me fez um litoral sem água. O calor e a areia era tudo.
Made myself a shoreline without water. Heat and sand was all.

Eu sei que um dia vou te ver de novo ;
I know a day will come when I’ll come see you;
Na janela, as ervas estão penduradas - Vou admitir algo logo:
In the window, your herbs are hanging--I'll admit something new:
Foi-me que era eu que era eu
It was me it was me it was me

Era eu, era minha grande perda
It was me, it was my big loss
Era eu, era meu próprio deserto
It was me, it was my own desert
Era eu, por nenhuma razão em tudo -
It was me, for no reason at all--
Foi apenas a minha natureza
It was just my nature

Oh, meu Tereza, era apenas a minha natureza
Oh, my tereza, it was just my nature
