disagree  Marjolein Snippe: come back, not go back, if you go for a literal translation
1 hr
  -> But it's not literal. When you say "quero que o tempo volte", means you want time to go back(wards).
agree  BMonikka: Come Back, time, Come Back!! Depending of the kind of translation (text/document)

If I could only turn back the clock!


Explanation:
Obviously not literal but I thought I'd put the option out there. It might be good depending on the tone of the story.

Another similar option is: If only I could turn back the hands of time.
