EU SEI QUE VOU TE AMAR by Antonio Carlos Jobim, new words by Joel Sattler
New title: "You Still Have to Go On Living"
The day I lost it all
She told me it was over after all
There's no use in pretending anymore
then turned around and she just walked out of the door
But she was yet a part of me
I still went through the motions because I
Had to go on with my life but
I kept her in my heart
And all those years I waited in the dark
Hoping that she would learn to play the part
Of someone warm and loving from afar
So you live life in disguise
And all the pain you simply have to hide
And even if you seem to die inside
You still have to go on living

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Vinicius de Moraes
Eu sei que vou te amar
Por toda a minha vida, eu vou te amar
Em cada despedida, eu vou te amar
Desesperadamente
Eu sei que vou te amar
E cada verso meu será
Prá te dizer que eu sei que vou te amar
Por toda a minha vida
Eu sei que vou chorar
A cada ausência tua eu vou chorar
Mas cada volta tua há de apagar
O que esta ausência tua me causou
Eu sei que vou sofrer
A eterna desventura de viver
À espera de viver ao lado teu
Por toda a minha vida
