Nascimento sings about a former lover, who told him that she was going to see the world, promising to return if the wind changed. He explains that the wind "did" change, but that it did not bring her expected return. He asks the wind to bring her back to him, however he also asks the clouds to cover his pain as he feels that he will die without her.
