Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I don't ask anyone for permission

I know what hurts me and what makes me feel good

To go deep and fall in love

Is to live without guilt and have courage

I want to live every second fully

I know it's late, it's already past time

But say it's true, that you adore me

Tonight you are radiant, my love

Embrace me and then kiss me now

Life passes, and I won't let love pass by

And what I feel is much more than love

Changing almost everything in the universe

Stars ask you to fall in love

Everywhere I read your name

I want to live the unrepeatable again

To clear paths just to give you a kiss

To change my life, to love you without fear

Because you are everything I desire most

I want to live the unrepeatable again

...

And give me a caress that saves me

That gesture of yours that is adorable

Life is a gift, open it

Let the moon soak us

I want to feel every second fully

Look up, beauty is countless

Before such greatness, you become great

Tonight you are more than radiant, my love

Tonight I can't find you in my song

Those who created the nights of time

Have not taken away the nights of love

The charms that fused with your hair

Changing the name of everything in the universe

Stars that beg for you to fall in love

Oceans of kisses in which I immerse myself

I want to live the unrepeatable again

To make a path just to give you a kiss

I want to desire moments with our hands

I want to fill the voids that have disappeared

The charms that fused with your hair

Changing the name of everything in the universe

Stars that beg for you to fall in love

Oceans of kisses in which I immerse myself

I want to live the unrepeatable again

To make a path just to give you a kiss

I want to desire moments with our hands

I want to fill the voids that have disappeared

The charms that fused with your hair

Changing the name of everything in the universe

Stars that beg for you to fall in love

Oceans of kisses in which I immerse myself

I want to live the unrepeatable again

To make a path just to give you a kiss

...

[Spanish]

Não peço licença pra ninguém

Sei o que me dói e o que me faz bem

Ir no fundo e se apaixonar

É viver sem culpa e ter coragem

Quero viver cada segundo inteiro

Sei que é tarde, já passou da hora

Mas diga que é verdade, que me adora

Essa noite está radiante, amor

Me abraça e então me beija agora

A vida passa e o amor não deixo passer

E isso que eu sinto é bem mais que amor

Mudando quase tudo no universo

Estrelas pedem que você se apaixone

Por todos os lugares leio seu nome

Quero viver de novo o irrepetível

Abrir caminhos só pra ate dar um beijo

Mudar a minha vida, te amar sem medo

Porque você é tudo que eu mais desejo

Quero viver de novo o irrepetível

Y dame una caricia que me salve

Ese gesto tuyo que es adorable

La vida es un regalo, abrelo

Deja que la luna nos empape

Quiero sentir cada segundo entero

Mira arriba la belleza es incontable

Ante tal grandeza te haces grande

Esta noche estas mas que radiante, amor

Esta noche no te encuentro en mi cancion

Los que crearon las noches del tiempo

No se han llevado las noches de amor

Las gracias que se fundieron en tu pelo

Cambiando el nombre a todo en el universo

Estrellas que suplican que te enamore

Oceanos de besos que me sumerjo

Quiero vivir de nuevo lo irrepetible

Hacer camino solo por darte un beso

Quiero desear instants con nuestras manos

Quiero llenar vacios que se murieron

Las gracias que se fundieron en tu pelo

Cambiando el nombre a todo en el universo

Estrellas que suplican que te enamore

Oceanos de besos que me sumerjo

Quiero vivir de nuevo lo irrepetible

Hacer camino solo por darte un beso

Quiero desear instants con nuestras manos

Quiero llenar vacios que se murieron

Las gracias que se fundieron en tu pelo

Cambiando el nombre a todo en el universo

Estrellas que suplican que te enamore

Oceanos de besos que me sumerjo

Quiero vivir de nuevo lo irrepetible

Hacer camino solo por darte un beso

Key Grammar Structures

• Sei o que me dói e o que me faz bem

  ➔ Relative Pronoun 'o que' (Neuter)

  ➔ In Portuguese, "_o que_" functions as a neuter relative pronoun, meaning "that which" or "what." It refers to an unspecified thing or concept. Here, "_o que_ me dói" translates to "what hurts me" or "that which hurts me."

• Ir no fundo e se apaixonar

  ➔ Infinitive as Subject + Reflexive Verb

  ➔ The infinitive "_Ir_" (to go) functions here as a noun-like subject, meaning "going." "_se apaixonar_" is a reflexive verb (apaixonar-se), meaning "to fall in love." The particle "_se_" indicates the action is performed by and reflects back on the subject.

• Estrelas pedem que você se apaixone

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood after Verbs of Request/Desire

  ➔ The verb "_pedem que_" (they ask that) introduces a subordinate clause that requires the subjunctive mood. "_se apaixone_" is the present subjunctive form of "apaixonar-se" (to fall in love), used here because "pedir" (to ask/request) expresses a desire or command for the subject of the subordinate clause ("você") to perform the action.

• Quero viver de novo o irrepetível

  ➔ Verb + Infinitive + Substantivized Adjective

  ➔ "_Quero viver_" is a common construction where a conjugated verb ("querer" - to want) is followed by an infinitive ("viver" - to live). "_o irrepetível_" uses the definite article "_o_" before the adjective "irrepetível" (unrepeatable), turning the adjective into a noun meaning "the unrepeatable thing/experience."

• Y dame una caricia que me salve

  ➔ Imperative (Spanish) + Subjunctive in Relative Clause

  ➔ "_dame_" is the informal singular imperative form of "dar" (to give), combined with the direct object pronoun "me." "_que me salve_" is a relative clause where "_salve_" is in the present subjunctive. The subjunctive is used because the clause expresses a desired or hypothetical characteristic of the "caricia" (a caress *that might save me*), not a factual one.

• Deja que la luna nos empape

  ➔ Imperative + Subjunctive after 'dejar que'

  ➔ "_Deja_" is the informal singular imperative form of "dejar" (to let/allow). The phrase "_Deja que_" always requires the verb in the following clause to be in the subjunctive mood. Therefore, "_empape_" (from "empapar" - to soak) is in the present subjunctive, meaning "let the moon soak us."

• No se han llevado las noches de amor

  ➔ Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto (Present Perfect) + Impersonal 'se'

  ➔ "_se han llevado_" is the Spanish *pretérito perfecto compuesto* (present perfect tense) of "llevar" (to take/carry). This tense is used for actions that happened in the past but have a connection to the present. The "_se_" here acts as an impersonal pronoun, indicating that the action is performed by an unspecified agent, similar to "one has taken" or "they have taken" (without specifying who).

• Cambiando el nombre a todo en el universo

  ➔ Gerund (Spanish/Portuguese)

  ➔ "_Cambiando_" is the gerund form of "cambiar" (to change). The gerund is used to express an ongoing action, often describing how something is done or a concurrent action. In this context, it describes the manner in which the universe is affected by the stars' supplications.

• Quiero llenar vacios que se murieron

  ➔ Verb + Infinitive + Relative Pronoun + Pretérito Perfeito Simples (Spanish)

  ➔ "_Quiero llenar_" is the verb "querer" (to want) followed by an infinitive, a common construction meaning "I want to fill." "_que se murieron_" is a relative clause. "_se murieron_" is the *pretérito perfecto simple* (past simple tense) of the reflexive verb "morir-se" (to die), used to indicate a completed action in the past. Here, "vacios _que se murieron_" means "voids that died/ceased to exist."
