Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

Ah! Se um dia eu souber voar

Ah! If one day I learn how to fly

E no teu colo eu pousar

And land in your arms

Será o dia mais feliz

It would be the happiest day

De toda minha vida

Of my entire life

Eu me coloquei de pé aqui

I stood up here

Juntei os cacos de um a um

Gathered the pieces one by one

Tive medo de seguir

I was afraid to move forward

Mas teu amor me encoraja

But your love gives me courage

Ah-ah, ah, ah-ah!

Ah-ah, ah, ah-ah!

De todos os amores que eu vivi

Of all the loves I’ve lived through

Talvez esse seja pra ficar

Maybe this one is here to stay

Então, que seja

So, let it be

Você veio desatar os nós

You came to untie the knots

E me estampar um riso que eu

And to bring a smile to my face that

Há tanto tempo não via

I haven't seen in so long

Ali na minha cara

Right there in front of me

...
