[English]

Call me adventure and come venture with me

Change my plans, I promise I'll believe

That I’m the only one you want to see when you wake up

Your safe harbor if the world falls apart

Come deceive me with that look of yours

The sweet way you stumble into me without counting

Quench my thirst with a kiss and silence me

Make me a poem and let me stay

I don’t forget, but I want to hear from your mouth

All the words that make me blush

Speak softly in my ear and hold my hand

Before the night ends

Tell me time stands still when I’m here

Tell silly stories just to see me smile

And make me believe I’m the reason you’re happy

The longing that’s tight without ever lying

Break all the silence inside of me

Leave me unaware of the beginning, middle, and end

Hold me tightly so I can feel you

Give me your shoulder and let my heart open

I don’t forget, but I want to hear from your mouth

All the words that make me blush

Speak softly in my ear and hold my hand

Before the night ends

Before the night ends, ah-ah

Before the night ends, ah-ah

I lose myself with you, but in the right way

I don’t forget, but I want to hear from your mouth

All the words that make me blush

Speak softly in my ear and hold my hand

Before the night ends

I don’t forget, but I want to hear from your mouth

All the words that make me blush

Speak softly in my ear and hold my hand

Before the night ends

(Before the night ends) ah-ah, ah-ah

(Before the night ends) ah-ah

Before the night ends

[Portuguese]

Chama-me aventura e vem te aventurar

Troca-me os planos que eu prometo acreditar

Que sou a única que queres ver ao acordar

Teu porto de abrigo se o mundo desabar

Vem me iludir com esse teu olhar

O jeito meigo que tropeça em mim e sem contar

Mata-me a sede com um beijo para me calar

Faz de mim poema e deixa-me ficar

Eu não me esqueço, mas quero ouvir da tua boca

Todas as palavras que me fazem corar

Fala-me baixinho ao ouvido e agarra a minha mão

Antes da noite acabar

Diz que o tempo para quando estou aqui

Conta histórias parvas só para me veres sorrir

E faz me crer que sou a razão de tu seres feliz

A saudade que aperta sem nunca mentir

Quebra todo o silêncio que há em mim

Deixa-me sem saber do princípio meio e fim

Abraça-me com força para te poder sentir

Dá-me o ombro e deixa o coração se abrir

Eu não me esqueço, mas quero ouvir da tua boca

Todas as palavras que me fazem corar

Fala-me baixinho ao ouvido e agarra a minha mão

Antes da noite acabar

Antes da noite acabar, ah-ah

Antes da noite acabar, ah-ah

Perco-me contigo, mas da forma certa

Eu não me esqueço, mas quero ouvir da tua boca

Todas as palavras que me fazem corar

Fala-me baixinho ao ouvido e agarra a minha mão

Antes da noite acabar

Eu não me esqueço, mas quero ouvir da tua boca

Todas as palavras que me fazem corar

Fala-me baixinho ao ouvido e agarra a minha mão

Antes da noite acabar

(Antes da noite acabar) ah-ah, ah-ah

(Antes da noite acabar) ah-ah

Antes da noite acabar
