[English]

When the hope of a night of love

Brings you the desire to live more

And the promise that the chance is over

It's nonsense, it's better to leave it behind

I'm tired of suffering

I want to dance, feel the warmth

And just look at the universe around you

Shining with life, smiling for no reason

Just vibrating love and peace

I feel the night, I think of you

I remember how good it is to love

When you left, I cried

I cried, I cried

Now that you have returned, I smile

I smile, I am king

When you left, I cried...

...

When you left, I cried

I cried, I cried

Now that you have returned, I smile

I smile, I am king

When you left, I cried

I cried, I cried

Now that you have returned, I smile

I smile, I am king

When the hope of a night of love

Brings you the desire to live more

And the promise that the chance is over

It's nonsense, it's better to leave it behind

I'm tired of suffering

I want to dance, feel the warmth

And just look at the universe around you

Shining with life, smiling for no reason

Just vibrating love and peace

I feel the night, I think of you

I remember how good it is to love

When you left, I cried

I cried, I cried

Now that you have returned, I smile

I smile, I am king

When you left, I cried

I cried, I cried

Now that you have returned, I smile

I smile, I am king

[Portuguese]

Quando a esperança de uma noite de amor

Lhe trouxer vontade para viver mais

E a promessa que a chance terminou

É bobagem, é melhor deixar pra trás

Eu tô cansado de sofrer

Quero dançar, sentir calor

E poder só olhar o universo em torno de você

Brilhando em vida, sorrindo à toa

Só vibrando amor e paz

Sinto a noite, penso em você

Lembro como é bom amar

Quando você se foi, chorei

Chorei, chorei

Agora que voltou, sorri

Sorri, sou rei

Quando você se foi, chorei...

Quando você se foi, chorei

Chorei, chorei

Agora que voltou, sorri

Sorri, sou rei

Quando você se foi, chorei

Chorei, chorei

Agora que voltou, sorri

Sorri, sou rei

Quando a esperança de uma noite de amor

Lhe trouxer vontade para viver mais

E a promessa que a chance terminou

É bobagem, é melhor deixar pra trás

Eu tô cansado de sofrer

Quero dançar, sentir calor

E poder só olhar o universo em torno de você

Brilhando em vida, sorrindo à toa

Só vibrando amor e paz

Sinto a noite, penso em você

Lembro como é bom amar

Quando você se foi, chorei

Chorei, chorei

Agora que voltou, sorri

Sorri, sou rei

Quando você se foi, chorei

Chorei, chorei

Agora que voltou, sorri

Sorri, sou rei
