In my loneliness when you’re gone and I’m all by myself
And I need your caress, I just think of you.
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear.
Though you’re far away, I have only to close my eyes
And you are back to stay. I just close my eyes,
And the sadness that missing you brings soon is gone
And this heart of mine sings.
Yes I love you so, and that for me is all I need to know.
I will wait for you till the sun falls from out of the sky
For what else can I do? I will wait for you,
Meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me.

Meditação
Quem acreditou no amor no sorriso e na flor
Então sonhou sonhou, E perdeu a paz,
pois o amor o sorriso e a flor se transformam depressa demais

Quem no coração abrigou a tristeza de vêr
Tudo isso se perder e na solidão
Procurou um caminho e seguiu já descrente de um dia feliz
Quem, chorou, chorou e tanto que o seu pranto já secou.
Quem de pois voltou ao amor ao sorriso e a flor
Então tudo encontrou pois apropriador
Revelouo caminho do amor e a tristeza acabou.
