[English]

In the light mist of passions that come from within

You come arriving to play in my backyard

On your horse, bare chest, hair in the wind

And the sun drying our clothes on the line

In the light mist of passions that come from within

You come arriving to play in my backyard

On your horse, bare chest, hair in the wind

And the sun drying our clothes on the line

You come, you come

I can already hear your signs

You come, you come

I can already hear your signs

The voice of the angel whispered in my ear

I don't doubt it, I can already hear your signs

That you would come on a Sunday morning

I announce you in the bells of the cathedrals

You come, you come

I can already hear your signs

You come, you come

I can already hear your signs

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

In the light mist of passions that come from within

You come arriving to play in my backyard

On your horse, bare chest, hair in the wind

And the sun drying our clothes on the line

You come, you come

I can already hear your signs

You come, you come

I can already hear your signs

The voice of the angel whispered in my ear

I don't doubt it, I can already hear your signs

That you would come on a Sunday morning

I announce you in the bells of the cathedrals

You come, you come

I can already hear your signs

You come, you come

I can already hear your signs

[Portuguese]

Na bruma leve das paixões que vem de dentro

Tu vem chegando pra brincar no meu quintal

No teu cavalo, peito nu, cabelo ao vento

E o sol quarando nossas roupas no varal

Na bruma leve das paixões que vem de dentro

Tu vem chegando pra brincar no meu quintal

No teu cavalo, peito nu, cabelo ao vento

E o sol quarando nossas roupas no varal

Tu vens, tu vens

Eu já escuto os teus sinais

Tu vens, tu vens

Eu já escuto os teus sinais

A voz do anjo sussurrou no meu ouvido

Eu não duvido, já escuto os teus sinais

Que tu virias numa manhã de domingo

Eu te anuncio nos sinos das catedrais

Tu vens, tu vens

Eu já escuto os teus sinais

Tu vens, tu vens

Eu já escuto os teus sinais

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Na bruma leve das paixões que vem de dentro

Tu vem chegando pra brincar no meu quintal

No teu cavalo, peito nu, cabelo ao vento

E o sol quarando nossas roupas no varal

Tu vens, tu vens

Eu já escuto os teus sinais

Tu vens, tu vens

Eu já escuto os teus sinais

A voz do anjo sussurrou no meu ouvido

Eu não duvido, já escuto os teus sinais
