[English]

In the morning, when you wake up

Your gentle, fleeting smile comes to wake me

Calm, lovely, girl

Take it easy, there's a way, and there is also

A peaceful heart, someone else's heart

Someone else's

In the morning, when you wake up

Your gentle, fleeting smile comes to wake me

Calm, lovely, girl

Take it easy, there's a way, and there is also

A peaceful heart, someone's heart

Someone else's

In the old house, there were even mountains

And on the streets of the city, there were people there

Walking together

In the old house, there were even mountains

And on the streets of the city, there were people there

Walking together

...

In the morning, when you wake up

Your light smile comes to wake me

Calm, pretty, girl

Take it easy, there's a way, and there is also

A peaceful heart, someone's heart

Someone else's

In the old house, there were even mountains

And on the streets of the city, there were people there

Walking together

In the old house, there were even mountains

And on the streets of the city, there were people there

Walking together

Stay calm, sweet, spicy, zen

A lick on your eye is so nice too

[Portuguese]

Pela manhã, quando você acorda

O teu sorriso tão ligeiro vem me despertar

Vagarosa, formosa, menina

Tem calma, tem jeito, tem também

O coração tranquilo, o coração de alguém

De alguém

Pela manhã, quando você acorda

O teu sorriso tão ligeiro vem me despertar

Vagarosa, formosa, menina

Tem calma, tem jeito, tem também

O coração tranquilo, o coração de alguém

De alguém

Na casa antiga tinha até montanhas

E nas ruas da cidade tinha gente ali

Caminhando juntas

Na casa antiga tinha até montanhas

E nas ruas da cidade tinha gente ali

Caminhando juntas

Por la mañana, cuando te despiertas

Tu sonrisa tan ligera viene despertarme

Tranquila, bonita, menina

Tem calma, tem jeito, tem também

O coração tranquilo, coração de alguém

De alguém

Na casa antiga tinha até montanhas

E nas ruas da cidade tinha gente ali

Caminhando juntas

Na casa antiga tinha até montanhas

E nas ruas da cidade tinha gente ali

Caminhando juntas

Coloca calma, carinho, tempero, zen

Uma lambida no zoinho é tão gostoso também
