Eurovision 1983 Portugal:
Armando Gama - "Esta balada que te dou"
Esta balada que te dou
Ela diz que eu fui um caso muito sério
Mas eu só sei que há algo nisso de anormal
Havia um tempo, um olhar, um sorrir, um começo
Mas agora, tudo perdeu seu brilho
Na minha vida só houve um abraço como o teu
Um sonho, um livro, uma aventura sem igual
Linda é linda esta balada que te dou
Linda é linda esta balada que te dou
Podem até pensar que eu sou um pouco triste
Mas não há nenhum mal em ser assim
Pois tudo fica mesmo quando se acaba
Um romance, uma paixão ou um caminho
Na minha vida só houve um abraço como o teu
Um sonho, um livro, uma aventura sem igual
Linda é linda esta balada que te dou
Linda é linda esta balada que te dou
Quis escrever a mais bela canção que há no mundo
Olhando para trás p'ra nos ver
Foi quando ouvi uma voz cantando baixinho
Esta balada que vinha de longe
Na minha vida só houve um abraço como o teu
Um sonho, um livro, uma aventura sem igual
Na minha vida só houve um abraço como o teu
Um sonho, um livro, uma aventura sem igual
Linda é linda esta balada que te dou
Linda é linda eѕta baladа que te dou
This ballad that I give you
She says I was a very serious case
But I only know that there's something abnormal to that
There was a time, a look, a smile, a beginning
But now everything has lost its glow
In my life there was only one hug like yours
A dream, a book, an adventure without equal
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you
They might even think that I'm a bit sad
But there's nothing wrong being this way
For everything stays, even when is over
A romance, a passionate love or a path
In my life there was only one hug like yours
A dream, a book, an adventure without equal
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you
I wanted to write the most beautiful song in the world
Looking back to see ourselves
It was when I heard a voice singing softly
This ballad which came from far away
In my life there was only one hug like yours
A dream, a book, an adventure without equal
In my life there was only one hug like yours
A dream, a book, an adventure without equal
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you
It's pretty, pretty, thiѕ ballad thаt I give you
When Love Has Gone
Someone said the other day she really missed me
After we gone our ways, but that's the way love goes
Sometimes you win one, sometimes you lose one, it's a mystery
And who can say for sure what makes it spark and grow
'Cause when the love has gone, the hurt still lingers on
Though they say time will mend a broken heart, that's wrong
I remember every time I hear our song
I remember, and I wonder what went wrong
Now you may say there's no point sitting down and crying
'Cause we know life goes on the way it did before
And even when you reach the day you find love's dying
You'll have your memories, no one can take them - that's for sure
'Cause when the love has gone, the hurt still lingers on
Though they say time will mend a broken heart, that's wrong
I remember every time I hear our song
I remember, and I wonder what went wrong
So after all the things that we went through together
Can we ever really say just who's to blame?
And should you need a helping hand from someone ever
I'll be there - you only have to call my name
'Cause when the love has gone, the hurt still lingers on
Though they say time will mend a broken heart, that's wrong
'Cause when the love has gone, the hurt still lingers on
Though they say time will mend a broken heart, that's wrong
I remember every time I hear our ѕong
I remember, and I wonder whаt went wrong
Ce Soir Je Chante
Tu m'as dit la vie est belle et puis je t'aime
A nous la joie, à nous l'amour et pour toujours
On c'est promis, juré, la folie éternelle
Et puis tu vois chacun s'entour c'est ça l'amour
A cet amour, à la tendresse, à l'aventure
A toi, à moi, à cette histoire et à nous deux
Ce soir je chante en souvenir de jours heureux
Ce soir je chante en souvenir de jours heureux
Le temps passe tout s'oublie quoi que l'on fasse
Pourtant rien n'est fini, rien de n'efface
En souvenir de nos sourires, de nos promesses
Ce soir tu vois je ne chante que pour toi
A cet amour, à la tendresse, à l'aventure
A toi, à moi, à cette histoire et à nous deux
Ce soir je chante en souvenir de jours heureux
Ce soir je chante en souvenir de jours heureux
Oui tu m'as dit la vie et belle et puis je t'aime
A nous la joie, à nous l'amour et pour toujours
On s'est promis, juré, la folie éternelle
Et puis tu vois chacun s'entour c'est ça l'amour
A cet amour, à la tendresse, à l'aventure
A toi, à moi, à cette histoire et à nous deux
A cet amour, à la tendresse, à l'aventure
A toi, à moi, à cette histoire et à nous deux
Ce soir je chante en souvenir de jours heureux
Ce soir je chаnte en souvenir de jourѕ heureux
