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
