[English]

When I smell your scent

Inside my car

...

I travel far away

With the car turned off

My heart has been asking about you

If your heart will take time to show up

Because

When we love, we wait

400 springs

I’ll make you a garden of love

I’ll plant, flower by flower

The world outside is already gone

But if you open your window

I’ll make you a garden of love

I’ll plant, flower by flower

...

My heart has been asking about you

If your heart will take time to show up

Because

When we love, we wait

400 springs

I’ll make you a garden of love

I’ll plant, flower by flower

The world outside is already gone

But if you open your window

I’ll make you a garden of love

I’ll plant, flower by flower

When we love, we wait

400 springs

I’ll make you a garden of love

I’ll plant, flower by flower

The world outside is already gone

But if you open your window

I’ll make you a garden of love

I’ll plant, flower by flower

...

[Portuguese]

Quando eu sinto seu cheiro

Dentro do meu carro

Eu viajo pra a longe

Com o carro desligado

Meu coração andou perguntando por você

Se o seu coração vai demorar pra aparecer

Porque

Quando a gente ama espera

400 primaveras

Te faço um jardim de amor

Vou plantar, flor por flor

O mundo lá fora já era

Mas se abrir sua janela

Te faço um jardim de amor

Vou plantar, flor por flor

Meu coração andou perguntando por você

Se o seu coração vai demorar pra aparecer

Porque

Quando a gente ama espera

400 primaveras

Te faço um jardim de amor

Vou plantar, flor por flor

O mundo lá fora já era

Mas se abrir sua janela

Te faço um jardim de amor

Vou plantar, flor por flor

Quando a gente ama espera

400 primaveras

Te faço um jardim de amor

Vou plantar, flor por flor

O mundo lá fora já era

Mas se abrir sua janela

Te faço um jardim de amor

Vou plantar, flor por flor
