Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

Na loucura de te ter p'ra mim

Na loucura de te ter p'ra mim

...

...

Eu não consigo pensar...

I can't stop thinking...

Na loucura de te ter, p'ra mim,

In the madness of having you, just for me,

Eu não consigo pensar um fim.

I can't imagine an ending.

Eu só não posso aceitar os teus ideais

I just can't accept your ideals

E o que a tua mente quer fazer,

And what your mind wants to do,

Só te queria ver!

I just wanted to see you!

A voar,

Flying,

Nesse barco que navega dentro

In that boat sailing inside

Do olhar

The gaze

Na paixão que desintegra o meu ser.

In the passion that destroys my being.

...

...

Só tu és assim

Only you are like this

Tens a força do amor, em ti

You have the strength of love within you

Nada me deixa pensar, por mim,

Nothing makes me think, for myself,

Eu só não posso aceitar os teus ideais

I just can't accept your ideals

E o que a tua mente quer fazer,

And what your mind wants to do,

Só te queria ver!

I just wanted to see you!

A voar,

Flying,

Nesse barco que navega dentro

In that boat sailing inside

Do olhar

The gaze

Na paixão que desintegra o meu ser.

In the passion that destroys my being.

A voar,

Flying,

Nesse barco que navega dentro

In that boat sailing inside

Do olhar

The gaze

Na paixão que desintegra o meu ser.

In the passion that destroys my being.

Só tu és assim

Only you are like this

A voar,

Flying,

Nesse barco que navega dentro

In that boat sailing inside

Do olhar

The gaze

Na paixão que desintegra o meu ser.

In the passion that destroys my being.

A voar,

Flying,

Nesse barco que navega dentro

In that boat sailing inside

Do olhar

The gaze

Na paixão que desintegra o meu ser.

In the passion that destroys my being.

Só tu és assim

Only you are like this
