[English]

I love the way you see me

I love you so much

And I miss you as soon as I say goodbye

I want more time with you

And to explain to you why

I am a whole person, I am

My own ground

But I want to walk with you, walk with you

I want to walk with you, walk with you

I love being able to smile with you

Until my cheeks hurt

And I feel a tightness as soon as I close my gate

But I want to see you be able to be

And to explain to you why

I am a whole person, I am

My own ground

But I want to walk with you

I am a whole person, I am

My own ground

But I want to walk with you, walk with you

I want to walk with you, walk with you

I want to walk with you, walk with you

...

[Portuguese]

Eu gosto tanto desse jeito que você me vê

Gosto tanto de você

E me faz falta assim que te digo adeus

Quero mais tempo com você

E te explicar porquê

Eu sou pessoa inteira, sou

Meu próprio chão

Mas quero caminhar com você, caminhar com você

Quero caminhar com você, caminhar com você

Eu gosto tanto de poder sorrir com você

Até minha bochecha doer

E sinto aperto assim que fecho o meu portão

Mas quero te ver poder ser

E te explicar porquê

Eu sou pessoa inteira, sou

Meu próprio chão

Mas quero caminhar com você

Eu sou pessoa inteira, sou

Meu próprio chão

Mas quero caminhar com você, caminhar com você

Quero caminhar com você, caminhar com você

Quero caminhar com você, caminhar com você
