(By Antonio Carlos Jobim & Chico Buarque

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back
That my place is there and there it will always be
There where I can hear the song of the sabiá
The song of the sabiá

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back
I will lie in the shaddow of a palm
That's no longer there
And pick a flower that doesn't grow
And may be some one's love speed the night
The lonely unwanted night
That may bring me to the new day

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back
They were not in vain
All the plans I made to deceive myself
All the roads I made just to loose myself
All the love I made to forget myself
All tose mistakes I made just to find myself

I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back
That my place is there and there it will always be
There where I can hear the song of the sabiá
Of the sabiá
