Lyrics:

[Português]

[English]

Ah, esse tom de voz eu reconheço

Ah, I recognize this tone of voice

Mistura de medo e desejo

It's a mix of fear and desire

Tô aplaudindo a sua coragem de me ligar

I'm applauding your courage for calling me

Eu, pensei que só tava alimentando

I thought I was just feeding

Uma loucura da minha cabeça

A madness in my head

Mas quando ouvi sua voz respirei aliviado

But when I heard your voice, I felt relieved

...

...

Tanto amor guardado, tanto tempo

So much love kept inside, all this time

A gente se prendendo à toa

We were just holding on for no reason

Por conta de outra pessoa

Because of someone else

Só dá pra saber se acontecer

We'll only know if it happens

...

...

É, e na hora que eu te beijei

And when I kissed you

Foi melhor do que eu imaginei

It was better than I imagined

Se eu soubesse tinha feito antes

If I had known, I would have done it sooner

No fundo sempre fomos bons amantes

Deep down, we’ve always been good lovers

E na hora que eu te beijei

And when I kissed you

Foi melhor do que eu imaginei

It was better than I imagined

Se eu soubesse tinha feito antes

If I had known, I would have done it earlier

No fundo sempre fomos bons amantes

Deep down, we've always been good lovers

No fundo sempre fomos bons amantes

Deep down, we've always been good lovers

...

...

É o fim daquele medo bobo

It’s the end of that silly fear

Tanto amor guardado, tanto tempo

So much love kept inside, all this time

A gente se prendendo à toa

We were just holding on for no reason

Por conta de outra pessoa

Because of someone else

Só da pra saber se acontecer

We can only know if it happens

...

...

É, e na hora que eu te beijei

And when I kissed you

Foi melhor do que eu imaginei

It was better than I imagined

Se eu soubesse tinha feito antes

If I had known, I would have done it sooner

No fundo sempre fomos bons amantes

Deep down, we’ve always been good lovers

E na hora que eu te beijei

And when I kissed you

Foi melhor do que eu imaginei

It was better than I imagined

Se eu soubesse tinha feito antes

If I had known, I would have done it earlier

No fundo sempre fomos bons amantes

Deep down, we've always been good lovers

No fundo sempre fomos bons amantes

Deep down, we've always been good lovers

É o fim daquele medo bobo

It’s the end of that silly fear

É o fim daquele medo bobo

It’s the end of that silly fear

...
