[English]

Beautiful just the way you are

From head to toe

Exactly as you'll be

And just thinking about it

I know I'll already be

Falling in love

...

In love

...

Such a beautiful thing

I'm headed where you are

No need to even call

Such a beautiful thing

I'm headed where you are

Beautiful, like the morning

Like mint tea

Like heading to the sea

Beautiful like this, lying down

With your face all squished

Delaying waking up

Waking up

Such a beautiful thing

I'm headed where you are

No need to even call

Such a beautiful thing

I'm headed where you are

Ah, if beauty lives in the eye

In mine, you arrived

And decided to stay

...

To make your home

To make your home

...

Such a beautiful thing

I'm headed where you are

I'm headed where you are

...

[Portuguese]

Linda do jeito que é

Da cabeça ao pé

Do jeitinho que for

É, e só de pensar

Sei que já vou estar

Morrendo de amor

De amor

Coisa linda

Vou pra onde você está

Não precisa nem chamar

Coisa linda

Vou pra onde você está

Linda, feito manhã

Feito chá de hortelã

Feito ir para o mar

Linda assim, deitada

Com a cara amassada

Enrolando o acordar

O acordar

Coisa linda

Vou pra onde você está

Não precisa nem chamar

Coisa linda

Vou pra onde você está

Ah, se a beleza mora no olhar

No meu você chegou

E resolveu ficar

Pra fazer teu lar

Pra fazer teu lar

Coisa linda

Vou pra onde você está

Vou pra onde você está
