Adeus povo bom adeus
Adeus eu ja vou me embora
Pelas ondas do mar eu vim
Pelas ondas do mar
Eu vou me embora
Adeus povo bom adeus
Adeus eu ja vou me embora
Pelas ondas do mar eu vim
Pelas ondas do mar
Eu vou me embora
Goodbye good people goodbye
Goodbye I'm leaving already
By the waves of the sea I came
By the waves of the sea
I'm leaving
Goodbye good people goodbye
Goodbye I'm leaving already
By the waves of the sea I came
By the waves of the sea
I'm leaving
