[English]

Mine is yours, my dream

It's your duty that it will come true

Take yours, feel sad, and I will be the one

Your reason to dream

I was lucky to find you

And to be part of you

We go in circles, not noticing

We bump into each other more than once

We're light, and even if it blinds me

I will still lose you

Mine is yours

...

Whatever is mine will be yours

This is our inviting sky to love

It will be me, I want to know so much I owe you

For having everything and giving nothing

We go in circles, not noticing

We bump into each other more than once

We're light, and even if it blinds me

I will still lose you

Mine is yours

...

We go in circles, not noticing

We bump into each other more than once

We're light, and even if it blinds me

I will still lose you

Mine is yours

Mine is yours

...

[Portuguese]

Meu é teu, sonho meu

É teu dever que ele se cumprirá

Leve o seu, entristecer e serei eu

O seu motivo pra sonhar

Tive a sorte de encontrar-te

E ser tua parte

Damos voltas, sem dar conta

Chocamos mais que uma vez

Somos leves e nem que cegue

Eu te irei perder

Meu é teu

O que é meu será teu

É o nosso céu de convite para amar

Serei eu, quero saber tanto te devo

Por ter tudo e nada dar

Damos voltas sem dar conta

Chocamos mais que uma vez

Somos leves e nem que cegue

Eu te irei perder

Meu é teu

Damos voltas sem dar conta

Chocamos mais que uma vez

Somos leves e nem que cegue

Eu te irei perder

Meu é teu

Meu é teu
