Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

Joga no chão o sal grosso

Throw the coarse salt on the ground

E atira pra cima o arroz

And throw the rice up high

Não vamos deixar que acabem

We won't let them end

Com a nossa fé no amor

With our faith in love

Até o dia en que os nossos olhos se cruzaram

Until the day our eyes met

Eu duvidei

I doubted

E agora eu posso falar

And now I can say

Que enfim eu te encontrei (Just found you)

That I finally found you (Just found you)

Quando encostas no meu peito

When you lean against my chest

O tempo para nesse instante

Time stops in that moment

E numa dança

And in a dance

Eu trago as nuvens aos teus pés (teus pés)

I bring the clouds to your feet (your feet)

No teu sorriso lindo

In your beautiful smile

Eu vejo o infinito mi amor

I see infinity my love

E se Deus quiser

And if God wills

Vamos ficar até ao fim (eh)

We'll stay until the end (eh)

Quero bailar colado a ti

I want to dance close to you

Tudo fica mais fácil

Everything becomes easier

Tudo fica mais lindo (oh, oh)

Everything becomes more beautiful (oh, oh)

I want your love

I want your love

Cuida de mim

Take care of me

Tudo fica mais fácil

Everything becomes easier

Everything is beautiful

Everything is beautiful

Solo quiero un beso (un beso)

I just want a kiss (a kiss)

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

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

Je voux que tu sois a mói

I want you to be mine

Oh, coro coçon mbê

Oh, dance with me

Solo quiero un beso

I just want a kiss

I just need you in my life

I just need you in my life

Je voux que tu sois a mói

I want you to be mine

Te quero meu amor

I want you my love

Sabes que eu te amo

You know that I love you

Sabes que eu te amo de mais

You know that I love you too much

Bô tá manga love you

I love you so much

Bô tá manga love you maya

I love you so much my dear

No teu sorriso lindo

In your beautiful smile

Eu vejo o infinito mi amor

I see infinity my love

E se Deus quiser

And if God wills
