Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

O céu chorou sem nos avisar

The sky cried without warning

Não se importou de nos molhar

It didn't mind soaking us

Nem longe daqui mudava o fim

Not far from here, the end wasn't changing

E voltava a dizer que sempre temi

And I kept saying I always feared

Como se eu te fosse perder

As if I were going to lose you

Amor, quando um sopro nos levar

My love, when a breath takes us away

E quando tudo se for eu prometo voltar

And when everything is gone, I promise to return

Ainda nos temos em gestos pequenos

We still have each other in small gestures

Se o mundo acabar tens onde morar em mim

If the world ends, you have a place to stay with me

Ah, por que ainda nos temos?

Oh, why do we still have each other?

O mundo cai em teu redor

The world falls around you

Eu viro o chão p'ra tua dor

I turn the ground for your pain

E quando o céu é a última estação

And when the sky is the last station

Levanto o véu dessa escuridão

I lift the veil of this darkness

E eu juro que nunca me vais perder

And I swear you'll never lose me

Amor, quando o sopro nos levar

My love, when the breath takes us away

E quando tudo se for eu prometo voltar

And when everything is gone, I promise to return

Ainda nos temos em gestos pequenos

We still have each other in small gestures

Se o mundo acabar tens onde morar em mim

If the world ends, you have a place to stay with me

Ah, por que ainda nos temos?

Oh, why do we still have each other?

Oh-oh-oh, ye-ye

Oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah

Oh-oh-oh, ye-ye

Oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah

Ainda nos temos...

We still have each other...
