Beijei seu rosto e guardei
Achei sincero e sem dúvida
Era quase de manhã, era madrugada
A noite esconde a cidade e você some
Será que é cria da noite e eu não sei?
As horas cessaram naquela manhã
Que vem é outro dia, outro dia
Será um desencontro e eu vou sozinha
Ele não dá um sentimento
Será um jogo intenso que se anuncia
Ele ri e sabe o que faz
Te quis prá minha vida, todo tempo esperei
E a vida agora está em torno de você
Amanhã é longe demais
Prá quem não tem
Prá quem não sabe
Amanhã é longe demais
Prá quem não tem a eternidade
Here;s the song for anyone who's interested (her live renditions of the song are awesome too):

She's performing this August in my city.
I'll give an attempt at translating though I'm not that good with it.
"Too Far away"
I kissed your face and kept it (to myself)
I thought it was sincere and undoubtful
It was almost morning, it was dawn
The night hides the city and you disappear
Is it (are you) a creation of the night and I'm not aware of it?
The hours stopped that morning
What comes is another day, another day
Is this a mismatch in meeting each other and I go on alone
He doesn't show a feeling
Is it an intense game that is being announced
He laughs and knows what he does
I wanted you for all my life, for all the time I've waited
And now the life is around you
Tomorrow is too far away
For someone who doesn't have it
For someone who doesn't know it
Tomorrow is too far away
For someone who doesn't have the eternity
