Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

Dei-te um desenho meu

I gave you one of my drawings

Feito com as cores do céu

Made with the colors of the sky

Pra guardares junto a ti

So you could keep it close to you

Sempre que eu for embora

Whenever I go away

Dei-te um desenho meu (Dei-te um desenho meu)

I gave you one of my drawings (I gave you one of my drawings)

Que não caiu do céu

That didn't fall from heaven

Com os teus lápis de cor, juntei

With your colored pencils, I combined

O teu amor ao meu

Your love with mine

Recordações, de belas canções

Memories, of beautiful songs

Contigo, baixinho

With you, softly

Recordações de nós

Memories of us

Sei que o tempo passa, voa

I know time passes, it flies

Que eu sinto falta

And I miss you

Mas o caminho é voltar, sempre

But the way is always to come back

Pra te poder abraçar, sempre

To be able to hold you again, always

Que o meu caminho é voltar pra dizer

My path is to come back and say

Eu gosto de ti

I like you

Sim

Yes

Eu, eu gosto de

I, I like

Eu gosto de ti

I like you

Dei-te um desenho meu (Dei-te um desenho meu)

I gave you one of my drawings (I gave you one of my drawings)

Feito com as cores do céu

Made with the colors of the sky

Pra guardares junto a ti

So you could keep it close to you

Sempre que eu for embora

Whenever I go away

Recordações, daqueles verões

Memories of those summers

Contigo, contigo

With you, with you

Recordações de nós

Memories of us

Sei que o tempo passa, voa

I know time passes, it flies

Que eu sinto falta

And I miss you

Mas o caminho é voltar, sempre

But the way is always to come back

Pra te poder abraçar, sempre

To be able to hold you again, always

O meu caminho é voltar pra dizer

My path is to come back and say

Eu gosto de ti

I like you

Sim, sim, eu

Yes, yes, I

Eu gosto de ti

I like you

Eu gosto de ti

I like you

Sim

Yes

Sim, eu

Yes, I

Eu gosto de ti (Eu gosto de ti)

I like you (I like you)

Sim, eu

Yes, I

Eu gosto
