[English]

The wind whispers endless stories

The moon dances in a satin sky

So full of color, silence that sings

A subtle glow

Light in the early morning, da-ah-ah

Light in the early morning, da-ah-ah

'Gada, da-ah-ah

Light in the early morning, da-ah-ah

'Gada, come guide me

They pass by slowly, where will they stop?

Lost on this path, but I want to stay

Light in the early morning, I just want to dream

Skulls on the ground

Shadows dancing aimlessly

Mystery in the air

Time breathes, let me wander

Light in the early morning, da-ah-ah

'Gada, da-ah-ah

'Gada, come guide me

They pass by slowly, where will they stop?

Light in the early morning, da-ah-ah

'Gada, da-ah-ah

Lost on this path, but I want to stay

Morning light, I just want to dream

...

[Portuguese]

Vento sussurra histórias sem fim

A lua dança num céu de cetim

Tão cheia de cor, silêncio que canta

Um sutil esplendor

Luz na madrugada, da-ah-ah

Luz na madrugada, da-ah-ah

'Gada, da-ah-ah

Luz na madrugada, da-ah-ah

'Gada, vem me guiar

Passam sem pressa, aonde vão parar?

Caminho perdido, mas quero ficar

Luz na madrugada, só quero sonhar

Esqueletos no chão

Sombras que dançam sem direção

Mistério no ar

O tempo respira, me deixa vagar

Luz na madrugada, da-ah-ah

'Gada, da-ah-ah

'Gada, vem me guiar

Passam sem pressa, aonde vão parar?

Luz na madrugada, da-ah-ah

'Gada, da-ah-ah

Caminho perdido, mas quero ficar

Luz da madrugada, só quero sonhar
