Você Não Me Ensinou A Te Esquecer Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Você Não Me Ensinou A Te Esquecer by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Não vejo mais você faz tanto tempo
I haven't seen you in so long
Que vontade que eu sinto
What a longing I feel
De olhar em seus olhos ganhar teus abraços
To look into your eyes, get your hugs
É verdade eu não minto
It's true, I'm not lying
E nesse desespero em que me vejo
And in this despair I find myself in
Já cheguei a tal ponto
I've already reached such a point
De me trocar diversas vezes por você
Of changing myself many times for you
Só pra ver se te encontro
Just to see if I find you
Você bem que podia perdoar
You really could forgive
E só mais uma vez me aceitar
And just one more time accept me
Prometo agora vou fazer por onde
I promise now I'll make sure
Nunca mais perdê-la
Never lose you again
Agora, que faço eu da vida sem você?
Now, what do I do with life without you?
Você não me ensinou a te esquecer
You didn't teach me to forget you
Você só me ensinou a te querer
You only taught me to want you
E te querendo eu vou tentando te encontrar
And wanting you, I keep trying to find you
Vou me perdendo
I'm losing myself
Buscando em outros braços seus abraços
Searching for your hugs in other arms
Perdido no vazio de outros passos
Lost in the emptiness of other footsteps
Do abismo que você se retirou e me atirou
From the abyss you withdrew from and threw me into
E me deixou aqui sozinho
And left me here alone
Agora, que faço eu da vida sem você?
Now, what do I do with life without you?
Você não me ensinou a te esquecer
You didn't teach me to forget you
Você só me ensinou a te querer
You only taught me to want you
E te querendo eu vou tentando me encontrar
And wanting you, I keep trying to find myself
E nesse desespero em que me vejo
And in this despair I find myself in
Já cheguei a tal ponto
I've already reached such a point
De me trocar diversas vezes por você
Of changing myself many times for you
Só pra ver se te encontro
Just to see if I find you
Você bem que podia perdoar
You really could forgive
Agora
Now
Vou me perdendo
I'm losing myself
