Woke up this morning
Singing an old, old Beatles song
We're not that strong, my Lord
You know we ain't that strong
I hear my voice among others
In the break of day
Hey, brothers
Say, brothers
It's a long, long, long, long way
It's a long way
It's a long, it's a long, long, long
It's a long way
Os olhos da cobra verde
Hoje foi que arreparei
Se arreparasse a mais tempo
Não amava quem amei
It's a long way
It's a long, it's a long way
It's a long, long, long
It's a long way
Arrenego de quem diz
Que o nosso amor se acabou
Ele agora está mais firme
Do que quando começou
It's a long road
It's a long, it's a long road
It's a long and winding road
It's a long and winding road
It's a long and winding road
It's a long and winding, long and winding road
A água com areia brinca na beira do mar
A água passa e a areia fica no lugar
It's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard, hard long way
E se não tivesse o amor
E se não tivesse essa dor
E se não tivesse o sofrer
E se não tivesse o chorar (ah, o amor)
E se não tivesse o amor
No Abaeté tem uma lagoa escura
Arrodeada de areia branca
