Eu sem voce 
Nao tenho porque
Porque sem voce 
Nao sei nem chorar
Sou chama sem luz 
Jardim sem luar
Luar sem amor 
Amor sem se dar

Eu sem voce
Sou so desamor
Um barco sem mar 
Um campo sem flor
Tristeza que vai 
Tristeza que vem
Sem voce, meu amor 
Eu nao sou ninguem

Aqui, que saudade 
Que vontade de ver 
Renascer nossa vida
Volta querido
Teus meus bracos 
Precisam dos teus
Teus abracos 
Precisam dos teus

Estou tao sozinha
Tenho os olhos cansados 
De olhar para o alem
Vem ver a vida
Sem voce, meu amor
Eu nao sou ninguem

Aqui, que saudade 
Que vontade de ver 
Renascer nossa vida
Volta querido
Teus meus bracos 
Precisam dos teus
Teus abracos 
Precisam dos teus

Estou tao sozinha
Tenho os olhos cansados 
De olhar para o alem
Vem ver a vida
Sem voce, meu amor
Eu nao sou ninguem

Sem voce, meu amor
Eu nao sou ninguem
Sem voce, meu amor
Eu nao sou ninguem
Sem voce, meu amor
Eu nao sou ninguem
