Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

Linda do jeito que é

Beautiful just the way you are

Da cabeça ao pé

From head to toe

Do jeitinho que for

Exactly as you'll be

É, e só de pensar

And just thinking about it

Sei que já vou estar

I know I'll already be

Morrendo de amor

Falling in love

...

...

De amor

In love

...

Coisa linda

Such a beautiful thing

Vou pra onde você está

I'm headed where you are

Não precisa nem chamar

No need to even call

Coisa linda

Such a beautiful thing

Vou pra onde você está

I'm headed where you are

Linda, feito manhã

Beautiful, like the morning

Feito chá de hortelã

Like mint tea

Feito ir para o mar

Like heading to the sea

Linda assim, deitada

Beautiful like this, lying down

Com a cara amassada

With your face all squished

Enrolando o acordar

Delaying waking up

O acordar

Waking up

Coisa linda

Such a beautiful thing

Vou pra onde você está

I'm headed where you are

Não precisa nem chamar

No need to even call

Coisa linda

Such a beautiful thing

Vou pra onde você está

I'm headed where you are

Ah, se a beleza mora no olhar

Ah, if beauty lives in the eye

No meu você chegou

In mine, you arrived

E resolveu ficar

And decided to stay

...

...

Pra fazer teu lar

To make your home

Pra fazer teu lar

To make your home

...

...

Coisa linda

Such a beautiful thing

Vou pra onde você está

I'm headed where you are

Vou pra onde você está

I'm headed where you are

...
