Part 1 – Part 2

Part 1

A insensatez que você fez
Coração mais sem cuidado
Fez chorar de dor o meu amor
Um amor tão delicado

Ah, porque você foi fraco assim?
Assim tão desalmado
Ah, meu coração quem nunca amou
Não merece ser amado

Part 2

Vai meu coração ouve a razão
Usa só sinceridade
Quem semeia vento, diz a razão
Colhe sempre tempestade

Vai, meu coração pede perdão
Perdão apaixonado
Vai porque quem não pede perdão
Não é nunca perdoado
