TRADUZIDO PARA O IDIOMA PORTUGUÊS LIVING INSIDE MYSELF - GINO VANNELLI Vivendo Sozinho Dentro de Mim Na minha vida Eu senti tão seguro de si Mas, de repente está tudo mudado Ela é uma nuvem Que paira acima do meu mundo E encontro-me na chuva E agora eu não posso ir Porque eu estou perdido Vivendo sozinho dentro de mim Vivendo dentro desta concha Vivendo sem seu amor Estou perdido Em algum lugar dentro do meus próprios sonhos Medo do que realmente significa viver Viver sem o seu amor Preciso uma luz Para brilhar em meus dias mais negros Eu era jovem, e o tempo estava do meu lado Mas como um tolo eu deixei escapulir E agora esses tempos acabaram E eu estou perdido Vivendo sozinho dentro de mim Vivendo dentro desta concha Vivendo sem seu amor Estou perdido Em algum lugar dentro do meus próprios sonhos Medo do que realmente significa viver Viver sem o seu amor Na minha vida Eu senti tão seguro de si Mas, oh com todas essas mudanças E agora que eu não sou forte Porque eu estou perdido Vivendo sozinho dentro de mim Vivendo dentro deste inferno Vivendo sem o seu amor Estou perdido Em algum lugar dentro do meus próprios sonhos Medo do que realmente significa viver Viver sem o seu amor Estou perdido Vivendo sozinho dentro de mim Vivendo dentro desta concha Vivendo sem o seu amor Estou perdido
