[English]

If one day something reminds you

And the emotion touches the entire face of your face

Don't be ashamed to say

That jealousy took your love

And your silence took you far away from my voice

It left me with no choice

I believed in the strength of your desire

But jealousy was greater than you

Resentments blinded my vision

That love turned into an old passion

I accept you like this, too complicated

I am like this, too complicated

And it's been a while since time stopped

I don't age waiting for your love

I accept you like this, too complicated

I am like this, too complicated

And it's been a while since time stopped

I don't age waiting for your love

...

If we feel like the Earth and the sea

And unlove unraveled a beautiful dream

In this way like a cloud in the sky

I really didn't want to believe

That such a serene human could be like this

An opposite aiming to cause confusion

I will be here waiting for you

Redeeming your mistake to see

Your shallow eyes decided to return

Without jealousy, come to me, come love me

I accept you like this, too complicated

I am like this, too complicated

And it's been a while since time stopped

I don't age waiting for your love

I accept you like this

I accept you like this

And it's been a while since time stopped

I don't age waiting for your love

I accept you like this, too complicated

I am like this, too complicated

And it's been a while since time stopped

I don't age waiting for your love

...

[Portuguese]

Se algum dia algo te lembrar

E a emoção tocar inteira a face do teu rosto

Não se envergonhe em dizer

Que o ciúme levou teu amor

E te afastou de vez de minha voz o teu silêncio

Não me deixou opção

Acreditei na força do teu querer

Mas o ciúme foi maior que você

Ressentimentos cegou minha visão

Aquele amor virou antiga paixão

Te aceito assim, complicado demais

Também sou assim, complicada demais

E já faz tempo que o tempo parou

Não envelheço a espera do teu amor

Te aceito assim, complicado demais

Também sou assim, complicada demais

E já faz tempo que o tempo parou

Não envelheço a espera do teu amor

Se nos sentimos como a Terra e o mar

E o desamor desfez um sonho lindo

Desse jeito feito uma nuvem no céu

Eu não queria mesmo acreditar

Que o ser humano tão sereno fosse assim

Um oposto afim de causar confusão

Eu estarei aqui esperando você

Se redimindo do teu erro pra ver

Teus olhos rasos decidido a voltar

Sem ter ciúme vem pra mim vem me amar

Te aceito assim, complicado demais

Também sou assim, complicada demais

E já faz tempo que o tempo parou

Não envelheço a espera do teu amor

Te aceito assim

Te aceito assim

E já faz tempo que o tempo parou

Não envelheço a espera do teu amor

Te aceito assim, complicado demais

Também sou assim, complicada demais

E já faz tempo que o tempo parou

Não envelheço a espera do teu amor
