[English]

Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-pa

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Ah, if I woke up every day with your good morning

With so much coffee in bed, there would be missing cups

I would be late, just to be lazy

If all art were inspired by your features

Then any sketch would turn into a Mona Lisa

With you, everything feels so light

That I even take you on the back of my bike

Black and white has color

Life has more humor

And little by little, the emptiness gets filled

The wrong gets right

The broken gets fixed

And so everything changes even without changing

Peace has multiplied

How good that you arrived to add up

I heard there’s a paradise on earth

And things I never understood

Things I never understood

I just heard that when it gives you chills, it’s already gone

Things I only understood

When I met you

Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-pa

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

With you, everything feels so light

That I even take you on the back of my bike

Black and white has color

Life has more humor

And little by little, the emptiness gets filled

The wrong gets right

The broken gets fixed

And so everything changes even without changing

Peace has multiplied

How good that you arrived to add up

I heard there’s a paradise on earth

And things I never understood

Things I never understood

I just heard that when it gives you chills, it’s already gone

Things I only understood

When I met you

I heard there’s a paradise on earth

And things I never understood

Things I never understood

I just heard that when it gives you chills, it’s already gone

Things I only understood

When I met you

Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-pa

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Na-ra-na

Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-pa

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

[Portuguese]

Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-pa

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Ah, se eu acordasse todo dia com o seu bom dia

De tanto café na cama faltariam xícaras

Me atrasaria, só pra ficar de preguiça

Se toda arte se inspirasse em seus traços

Então qualquer esboço viraria um quadro Monalisa

Com você tudo fica tão leve

Que até te levo na garupa da bicicleta

O preto e branco tem cor

A vida tem mais humor

E pouco a pouco o vazio se completa

O errado se acerta

O quebrado conserta

E assim tudo muda mesmo sem mudar

A paz se multiplicou

Que bom que você chegou pra somar

Ouvi dizer que existe paraíso na terra

E coisas que eu nunca entendi

Coisas que eu nunca entendi

Só ouvi dizer que quando arrepia já era

Coisas que eu só entendi

Quando eu te conheci

Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-pa

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Com você tudo fica tão leve

Que até te levo na garupa da bicicleta

O preto e branco tem cor

A vida tem mais humor

E pouco a pouco o vazio se completa

O errado se acerta

O quebrado conserta

E assim tudo muda mesmo sem mudar

A paz se multiplicou

Que bom que você chegou pra somar

Ouvi dizer que existe paraíso na terra

E coisas que eu nunca entendi

Coisas que eu nunca entendi

Só ouvi dizer que quando arrepia já era

Coisas que eu só entendi

Quando eu te conheci

Ouvi dizer que existe paraíso na terra

E coisas que eu nunca entendi

Coisas que eu nunca entendi

Só ouvi dizer que quando arrepia já era

Coisas que eu só entendi

Quando eu te conheci

Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-pa

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Na-ra-na

Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-pa

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh

Na-ra-na
