[English]

See what happens

(See what?)

And what comes next

(Who's coming?)

These lovebirds

Will fall in love

It's just the two of us

(I get it now)

There are caresses being exchanged

There's magic in the air

(Everywhere)

As long as there's romance between the two

Disasters are coming

...

Tonight love has arrived

It's here to stay

...

And everything is in harmony and peace

Romance is in the air

There are so many things to say

But how can I explain

What happened to me

I won't tell

If you're not going to leave me

What is he hiding

And doesn't want to reveal?

Because there's a king inside him

But he doesn't want to show it

Tonight love has arrived

It's here to stay

And everything is in harmony and peace

Romance is in the air

Tonight love has arrived

And comes to this place

For the two tired of waiting

To find each other

Happy ending is written

What a bad situation

His freedom is almost over

The lion is tamed

...

[Portuguese]

Vê o que acontece

(Vejo o quê?)

E o que vem depois

(Quem vem?)

Estes pombinhos

Vão se apaixonar

Ficamos só nós dois

(Já percebi)

Há troca de carícias

Há mágica no ar

(Em todo o ar)

Enquanto houver romance entre os dois

Desastres vão chegar

Esta noite o amor chegou

Chegou para ficar

E tudo está em harmonia e paz

Romance está no ar

São tantas coisas a dizer

Mas como hei-de explicar

O que me aconteceu

Não vou contar

Se não vais me deixar

O que é que ele esconde

E não quer revelar?

Pois dentro dele um rei existe

Mas que não quer mostrar

Esta noite o amor chegou

Chegou para ficar

E tudo está em harmonia e paz

Romance está no ar

Esta noite o amor chegou

E vem neste lugar

Para os dois cansados de esperar

Para se encontrar

Final feliz escrito está

Que má situação

Sua liberdade está quase no fim

Domado está o leão
