[English]

You showed me that love can be easy

And I was suspicious

I had never seen peace so close to my nose

I thought that to be happy the ground needed to shake

And reality seemed like a lie, what a silly thing

I found the greatest beauty in the nonsense of routine

You whispered your love in my ear

Without asking for a response, a guarantee

Or something like that, so different from me

So far from the explosions

Not worrying about the days to come

What a good thing to have the heart on the ground

And to have the courage to say

I love you, I love you

In the simplest and most beautiful way

I don't know what comes next, nor the risks

I'm letting my body choose the path of desire

And the desire has been you, has been you

All the time, just you

Let the surprises come

The delays, the abysses

Misencounters, challenges

Dangers, risks

That signal stars, prophecies

The intuitions and the spiritual guides

The intuitions and the spiritual guides

The intuitions and the guides

I want to be with you and nothing more

And nothing more

I want to be with you and nothing more

...

[Portuguese]

Você me mostrou que o amor pode ser fácil

E eu desconfiei

Nunca tinha visto a paz tão perto do meu nariz

Eu pensei que pra ser feliz o chão precisava tremer

E a realidade parecer mentira, que coisa boba

Encontrei nas besteiras da rotina a maior beleza

Você me falou o seu amor no meu ouvido

Sem pedir de volta uma resposta, garantia

Ou coisa assim, tão diferente de mim

Tão longe das explosões

Sem preocupar com os dias que virão

Que coisa boa ter o coração no chão

E ter coragem pra dizer

Eu te amo, eu te amo

Do jeito mais simples e bonito

Não sei o que vem depois, nem os riscos

Tô deixando o corpo escolher o caminho da vontade

E a vontade tem sido você, tem sido você

Toda hora, só você

Que venham as surpresas

Os atrasos, os abismos

Desencontros, desafios

Canastras, perigos

Que sinalizem astros, profecias

As intuições e os guias espirituais

As intuições e os guias espirituais

As intuições e os guias

Eu quero estar contigo e nada mais

E nada mais

Eu quero estar contigo e nada mais
