Vai minha tristeza
E diz a ela 
Que sem ela não pode ser
Diz-lhe numa prece
Que ela regresse 
Por que eu não posso mais sofrer
Chega de saudade
A realidade
É que sem ela não há paz
Não há beleza
É só tristeza
E a melancolia 
Que não sai de mim
Não sai de mim, não sai

Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar
Que coisa linda, que coisa louca
Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar
Do que os beijinhos 
Que eu darei na sua boca

Dentro dos meus braços
Os abraços 
Hão de ser milhões de abraços
Apertado assim
Colado assim, calado assim
Abraços e beijinhos 
E carinhos sem ter fim
Que é pra acabar com esse negócio
De você viver sem mim
Não quero mais esse negócio
De você viver sem mim
