TIVE SIM by Cartola, new words by Joel Sattler

New title: “ I Had Love”

I had love

Had a great love long before you

Yes it’s true

It was before I ever knew of you

And so you see it seems

her dreams were the same as mine too

In our home

always the sound of joy I was content

to hear the sweet sound of her voice

But now I’m content to live out my last days with you

Can’t compare

It was another time, another place, another girl 

And can’t you see? 

I would not hurt you for the whole wide world

******

I had love

Had a great love long before you too

Yes it’s true

It was before I ever knew of you

And so you see it seems

her dreams were the same as mine too

In our home

always the sound of joy I was content

to hear the sweet sound of her voice

But now I’m content to live out my last days with you

Can’t compare

It was another time, another place, another girl 

And can’t you see? 

I would not hurt you for the whole wide world

I would not hurt you for the whole wide world

I would not hurt you for the whole wide world

Original lyrics in Portuguese:

Tive, sim

Outro grande amor antes do teu

Tive, sim

O que ela sonhava eram os meus sonhos e assim

Íamos vivendo em paz

Nosso lar,

em nosso lar sempre houve alegria

Eu vivia tão contente

Como contente ao teu lado estou

Tive, sim

Mas comparar com o teu amor seria o fim

Eu vou calar

Pois não pretendo amor te magoar

Tive, sim

Outro grande amor antes do teu

Tive, sim

O que ela sonhava eram os meus sonhos e assim

Íamos vivendo em paz

Nosso lar,

em nosso lar sempre houve alegria

Eu vivia tão contente

Como contente ao teu lado estou

Tive, sim

Mas comparar com o teu amor seria o fim

Eu vou calar

Pois não pretendo amor te magoar

Pois não pretendo amor te magoar

Pois não pretendo amor te magoar
