Eu nem sei como começo 00:13
Fica tão difícil para mim 00:16
E digo coisas sem nexo 00:18
Perguntas porque estou assim 00:22
Eu nem sei explicar nem vou contar 00:24
Que o tempo pára ao ver-te acordar 00:27
Nesse teu jeito inocente 00:30
Que me faz não te querer largar 00:33
Foram os teus abraços 00:40
O sorriso maroto 00:42
O teu corpo desenhado 00:43
E eu desajeitado 00:46
E tu sem me dar troco 00:47
Fica mais um bocado 00:49
E ela diz que não dá 00:52
Não dá, não dá, não dá 00:54
Tu não estás bem quando estás sozinha 01:11
Eu não percebo se tu estás na minha 01:13
Mas vá lá não fiques convencida 01:17
Só porque és mais gira do que querida 01:20
E então eu sou um perdido e um achado 01:22
Tu às vezes pões de lado 01:25
Mas queres e então 01:27
Eu penso em ti todos os dias 01:30
Mas não sei se penso mais do que pedes 01:32
Foram os teus abraços 01:35
O sorriso maroto 01:35
O teu corpo desenhado 01:37
E eu desajeitado 01:40
E tu sem me dar troco 01:41
Fica mais um bocado 01:43
E ela diz que não dá 01:46
Não dá, não dá, não dá 01:48
Não dá porquê 02:05
Se nos teus olhos eu vejo 02:06
Que tu queres mais de mim 02:08
Eu grito, mas tu não vens 02:09
Nem tens alguém que te provoque 02:11
Te deseje e te toque 02:13
Que te faça rir 02:13
Te espere e te leve no meu hip-hop 02:15
Quero ter-te por perto 02:17
Vem ter comigo és tu que escolhes 02:18
Nunca houve mais ninguém 02:20
Tens o meu mundo nos teus olhos 02:21
Nada é incerto e tu és essa vontade 02:23
De te ter, de te querer 02:25
De te sentir e escrever 02:27
E dizer 02:29
Que és aquilo 02:29
Que eu preciso então 02:30
Eu sei que vali a pena 02:32
Só não sei se são 02:33
Os meus abraços 02:35
Que te sabem a pouco 02:35
E tu queres o teu espaço 02:37
Será que sou passado 02:40
Ou isto é só um jogo 02:41
Para me teres ao teu lado 02:43
Mas ela diz que não dá 02:46
Não dá, não dá, não dá 02:48
E ela diz que não dá 02:52
Não dá, não dá, não dá 02:54
Tu, só tu, só tu 03:11
Que me faz ser eu 03:16
És tu, só tu 03:18
E o que é que aconteceu 03:22
És tu, és tu 03:24
E o que me deu 03:28
És tu, só tu 03:30
Tu, só tu, só tu 03:35
03:40

[English]
I don’t even know how to start
It becomes so hard for me
And I say things that don’t make sense
You ask why I’m like this
I don’t even know how to explain or tell
That time stops when I see you wake up
In that innocent way of yours
That makes me never want to let go
It was your hugs
The mischievous smile
Your body carefully drawn
And me all awkward
And you without giving me back
Stay a little longer
And she says it's not possible
It’s not, it’s not, it’s not
You’re not okay when you're alone
I don’t understand if you’re really mine
But hey, don’t get too confident
Just because you’re prettier than ‘dear’
And so I’m lost and found at the same time
Sometimes you put things aside
But then you want to, and
I think of you every day
But I don’t know if I think more than you ask
It was your hugs
The mischievous smile
Your body carefully drawn
And me all awkward
And you without giving me back
Stay a little longer
And she says it's not possible
It’s not, it’s not, it’s not
Why not?
Because when I look into your eyes
I see that you want more of me
I shout, but you don’t come
Nor do you have anyone provoking you
Wishing for you and touching you
Making you laugh
Waiting for you and taking you in my hip-hop
I want to have you close
Come to me, it’s your choice
There’s never been anyone else
You have my world in your eyes
Nothing’s uncertain, and you’re that desire
To have you, to want you
To feel you and write about you
And say
That you are what
I need, then
I know it was worth it
I just don’t know if it’s
My hugs
That taste too little
And you want your space
Am I a thing of the past?
Or is this just a game
To have you by my side
But she says it’s not possible
It’s not, it’s not, it’s not
And she says it’s not possible
It’s not, it’s not, it’s not
You, only you, only you
That makes me be myself
It’s you, only you
And what happened
It’s you, it’s you
And what gave me
It’s you, only you
You, only you, only you
