Lyrics of Mesma Rua Mesmo Lado - Luisa Sobral

Mesma Rua Mesmo Lado (original)

Eram os dois da mesma aldeia
Mesma rua, mesmo lado
Mesmo jeito de criança
Mesmo olhar envergonhado
Havia até quem dizia
Que eram uma só pessoa
Pois só se separavam
À noite quando chegavam
À rua onde moravam
Mas o tempo foi passando
Com ele o jeito de criança
E aquela uma só pessoa
Já era quase só lembrança
Ele esperava por ela
Mas ela tinha outros planos
Tinha encontrado o amor
Amor que ele conhecia
Há tantos, tantos anos
Foi da janela do quarto
Que a viu sair para o casamento
Chorou como se estivesse
No altar naquele momento
E foi dizendo bem baixinho
Que prometia ser fiel
E ali naquele momento
Sentiu o toque dela
E no dedo o anel
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Preferiu viver sozinho
Para se ela quisesse voltar
Mesmo quando bem velhinho
Não se cansou de esperar
Sabia que ela estava longe
Mas não deixou de acreditar
Que um dia ela viveria
Na mesma aldeia, mesma rua, mesmo lado
Mesmo lar

(translation)

They were the two from the same village
Same street, same side
Same way as a child
even look embarrassed
There were even those who said
who were one person
Because they only separated
At night when they arrived
To the street where they lived
But time went by
With him the way of child
And that one person
It was almost just a memory
he was waiting for her
But she had other plans
she had found love
love he knew
So many, so many years ago
It was from the room window
Who saw her leave for the wedding
She cried as if she was
At the altar at that moment
And she was saying very softly
who promised to be faithful
And there at that moment
He felt her touch
And on the finger the ring
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
She preferred to live alone
For if she wanted to come back
Even when very old
Didn't get tired of waiting
He knew she was far away
But he didn't stop believing
That one day she would live
In the same village, same street, same side
same home
