[English]

Throw the coarse salt on the ground

And throw the rice up high

We won't let them end

With our faith in love

Until the day our eyes met

I doubted

And now I can say

That I finally found you (Just found you)

When you lean against my chest

Time stops in that moment

And in a dance

I bring the clouds to your feet (your feet)

In your beautiful smile

I see infinity my love

And if God wills

We'll stay until the end (eh)

I want to dance close to you

Everything becomes easier

Everything becomes more beautiful (oh, oh)

I want your love

Take care of me

Everything becomes easier

Everything is beautiful

I just want a kiss (a kiss)

I just need you in my life (in my life)

I want you to be mine

Oh, dance with me

I just want a kiss

I just need you in my life

I want you to be mine

I want you my love

You know that I love you

You know that I love you too much

I love you so much

I love you so much my dear

In your beautiful smile

I see infinity my love

And if God wills

We'll stay until the end

I want to dance close to you

Everything becomes easier

Everything becomes more beautiful (oh, oh)

I want your love

Take care of me

Everything becomes easier

Everything is beautiful

I love you, you are my everything

I love you, you are my everything

I ask God to give us strength

If you call me, I am here

I love you, you are my everything

I love you, you are my everything

I ask God to give us strength

Strength my God, strength more

I want to dance close to you

Everything becomes easier

Everything becomes more beautiful (oh, oh)

I want your love

Take care of me

Everything becomes easier

Everything is beautiful

[Portuguese]

Joga no chão o sal grosso

E atira pra cima o arroz

Não vamos deixar que acabem

Com a nossa fé no amor

Até o dia en que os nossos olhos se cruzaram

Eu duvidei

E agora eu posso falar

Que enfim eu te encontrei (Just found you)

Quando encostas no meu peito

O tempo para nesse instante

E numa dança

Eu trago as nuvens aos teus pés (teus pés)

No teu sorriso lindo

Eu vejo o infinito mi amor

E se Deus quiser

Vamos ficar até ao fim (eh)

Quero bailar colado a ti

Tudo fica mais fácil

Tudo fica mais lindo (oh, oh)

I want your love

Cuida de mim

Tudo fica mais fácil

Everything is beautiful

Solo quiero un beso (un beso)

I just need you in my life (in my life)

Je voux que tu sois a mói

Oh, coro coçon mbê

Solo quiero un beso

I just need you in my life

Je voux que tu sois a mói

Te quero meu amor

Sabes que eu te amo

Sabes que eu te amo de mais

Bô tá manga love you

Bô tá manga love you maya

No teu sorriso lindo

Eu vejo o infinito mi amor

E se Deus quiser

Vamos ficar até ao fim

Quero bailar colado a ti

Tudo fica mais fácil

Tudo fica mais lindo (oh, oh)
