[English]

Wow, she looked so beautiful

Time really hasn’t changed her at all

She changed, her haircut

But her charming smile’s dimples are still her charm

Only that strange guy, in the place that used to be mine

Kissing the mouth that was mine, that’s when it happened

My hand froze, my heart raced

When she greeted me with a friendly kiss

It was a grazing touch, but it was worth it

Oh yes, it was worth it, feeling your kiss

It was just a graze, but it was worth it

On the corner of her mouth

I went back to the time when I was only yours

It was a grazing touch, but it was worth it

Oh yes, it was worth it, feeling your kiss

It was just a graze, but it was worth it

On the corner of her mouth

I drifted back to when I was only yours

...

Wow, she’s so beautiful now

Time really hasn’t changed her at all

She changed, her haircut

But her charming smile’s dimples are still her charm

Only that strange guy, in the place that used to be mine

Kissing the mouth that was mine, that’s when it happened

My hand froze, my heart raced

When she greeted me with a friendly kiss

It was a grazing touch, but it was worth it

Oh yes, it was worth it, feeling your kiss

It was just a graze, but it was worth it

On the corner of her mouth

I went back to the time when I was only yours (Only yours)

It was a grazing touch, but it was worth it

Oh yeah, it was worth it, feeling your kiss

It was a grazing touch, but it was worth it

On the corner of her mouth

I returned to the time I was only yours

(It was a grazing touch, but it was worth it)

Oh yes, it was worth it, feeling your kiss

It was a grazing touch, but it was worth it

On the corner of her mouth

I traveled back to when I was only yours

...

[Portuguese]

Poxa, como ela tava linda

O tempo não passou mesmo pra ela

Mudou, o corte do cabelo

Mas as covinhas do sorriso continua o charme dela

Só aquele cara estranho, no lugar que era meu

Beijando a boca que era minha, foi aí que aconteceu

Minha mão congelou, coração disparou

Quando com um beijo de amigo me cumprimentou

Foi de raspão, mas valeu

Ô se valeu, sentir o beijo seu

Foi de raspão, mas valeu

Foi no canto da boca

Voltei no tempo em que eu era seu, só seu

Foi de raspão, mas valeu

Ô se valeu, sentir o beijo seu

Foi de raspão, mas valeu

Foi no canto da boca

Voltei no tempo em que eu era seu, só seu

Poxa, como ela tá tão linda

O tempo não passou mesmo pra ela

Mudou, o corte do cabelo

Mas as covinhas do sorriso continua o charme dela

Só aquele cara estranho, no lugar que era meu

Beijando a boca que era minha, foi aí que aconteceu

Minha mão congelou, coração disparou

Quando com um beijo de amigo me cumprimentou

Foi de raspão, mas valeu

Ô se valeu, sentir o beijo seu

Foi de raspão, mas valeu

Foi no canto da boca

Voltei no tempo em que eu era seu (Só seu)

Foi de raspão, mas valeu

Ôh se valeu, sentir o beijo seu

Foi de raspão, mas valeu

Foi no canto da boca

Voltei no tempo em que eu era seu

(Foi de raspão, mas valeu)

Ô se valeu, sentir o beijo seu

Foi de raspão, mas valeu

Foi no canto da boca

Voltei no tempo em que eu era seu
