Vai Passar [English translation]

It'll pass

Of course this will pass the same way it came

I'm getting tired of all this emptiness

After the storm

Comes the soft wind

It'll pass

Fasting from affection, from kisses, from hugs

If the pain doesn't pass

I won't take another step

I'm through with what I'm going through

I'll pass

My anxiety to see your image

To receive texts in the dreamy nights

To call you in the days of melancholy1

It'll pass

It'll pass

My huge desire for small love

While I was remedy

You were poison

All you did was walk over me2

It'll pass

The heartache that makes my soul sick

I've made so many mistakes that from now on

I don't have the right to make another mistake
