Não vou lamentar, o que passou, passou
I won't regret, what's gone is gone

Lyrics and Translation
Line-by-line practice helps you understand the meaning and remember useful phrases.
Eu vou embora, o meu tempo acabou
I'm leaving, my time is up
Tenho muita coisa para descobrir
I have a lot to discover
Eu sinto muito, mas tenho que ir
I'm sorry but I have to go
E vou pro mundo porque nada mais me prende aqui
And I'm going to the world because nothing keeps me here anymore
É o final do show
It's the end of the show
E não fique magoado porque vou partir
And don't be hurt because I'm leaving
É só o jeito que eu sou
It's just the way I am
Ch-ch-ch-changes, lá vem meu trem, vem meu trem
Ch-ch-ch-changes, here comes my train, here comes my train
Tô saindo fora porque eu vou me dar bem
I'm leaving because I'm going to do well
Ch-ch-ch-changes, lá vem meu trem, vem meu trem
Ch-ch-ch-changes, here comes my train, here comes my train
Sei que tá na hora e eu vou me dar bem
I know it's time and I'll do well
Sempre em frente, nunca pra trás
Always forward, never back
Não é por nada não, mas vou me divertir
Not for nothing, but I'm going to have fun
Enquanto a vida assim permitir
As long as life allows
Só vou procurar fazer amigos do bem
I'm just going to try to make good friends
Se precisar, ajudar também
If necessary, help too
E agora, a liberdade e o horizonte
And now, freedom and the horizon
Só voce não sacou
Only you didn't get it
Nova York, Ipanema ou Hong Kong
New York, Ipanema or Hong Kong
É nessa aí que eu tô
That's where I'm at
Ch-ch-ch-changes, lá vem meu trem, vem meu trem
Ch-ch-ch-changes, here comes my train, here comes my train
Tô saindo fora porque eu sei que vou me dar bem
I'm leaving because I know I'll do well
Ch-ch-ch-changes, lá vem meu trem, vem meu trem
Ch-ch-ch-changes, here comes my train, here comes my train
Sei que tá na hora e eu vou me dar bem
I know it's time and I'll do well
Sempre em frente, nunca pra trás
Always forward, never back
Livre eu me sinto, sublime
Free I feel, sublime
Gente, mais gente, o mar e o céu azul
People, more people, the sea and the blue sky
Ch-ch-ch-changes, lá vem meu trem, vem meu trem
Ch-ch-ch-changes, here comes my train, here comes my train
Tô saindo fora e eu sei que vou me dar bem
I'm leaving and I know I'll do well
Ch-ch-ch-changes, lá vem meu trem, vem meu trem
Ch-ch-ch-changes, here comes my train, here comes my train
Tô saindo fora e eu sei que vou me dar bem
I'm leaving and I know I'll do well
Sempre em frente, nunca pra trás
Always forward, never back
Sempre em frente, nunca pra trás
Always forward, never back
