[English]

The letters I once wrote to you

...

Were to tell you everything I am

...

In the school where I met you

...

A kiss from you changed everything

...

When I stop and need you, you are here

...

I want to grow like this

...

I don't want to write the end of this song

...

I travel the world and realize that my garden

...

Has flowers I've always wanted

And the light that makes them grow

E a luz que as faz crescer

Is our love

That is eternal and will always be

...

I know that time never stopped

...

To show the signs coming from you

...

And at the same time, it sent me

...

A real angel to take care of me

...

When I stop and need you, you are here

...

I want to grow like this

...

I don't want to write the end of this song

...

I travel the world and realize that my garden

...

Has flowers I've always wanted

...

And the light that makes them grow

Is our love

É o nosso amor

When I stop and need you, you are here

...

I want to grow like this

...

I don't want to write the end of this song

...

It is eternal and will always be

...

When you need, I will always be here

...

I saw you grow like this, it will never end

...

Our song is eternal and will always be

...

[Portuguese]

As cartas que eu um dia te escrevi

Foi pra te contar tudo o que sou

Na escola em que eu te conheci

Um beijo teu tudo mudou

Quando páro e preciso tu estás aqui

Quero crescer assim

Não quero escrever o fim desta canção

Corro o mundo e percebo que o meu jardim

Tem flores que eu sempre quis

E a luz que as faz crescer

É o nosso amor

Que é eterno e para sempre será

Eu sei que o tempo nunca parou

De mostrar os sinais vindos de ti

E ao mesmo tempo ele me enviou

Um anjo real para cuidar de mim

Quando páro e preciso tu estás aqui

Quero crescer assim

Não quero escrever o fim desta canção

Corro o mundo e percebo que o meu jardim

Tem flores que eu sempre quis

E a luz que as faz crescer

É o nosso amor

Quando páro e preciso tu estás aqui

Quero crescer assim

Não quero escrever o fim desta canção

É eterno para sempre será

Quando precisares eu vou estar sempre aqui

Vi-te crescer assim, nunca vai ter fim

Nossa canção é eterna e pra sempre será
