How insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely

How she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say
What can you say
When a love affair is over

Once I loved
And I gave so much love to this love
It was the world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud
And let you say goodbye

And then one day
From my infinite sadness you came
And brought me love again

Now I know, that no matter, whatever befalls
I'll never let you go
I will hold you close, make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
Porque o amor é a coisa mais triste quando se desfaz
Love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
When it goes away
