[English]

Every day I love you, want you, call for you

You know I still wait

Every day I love you, want you, call for you

You know I still wait

I embraced the days we had

The hours we shared

Our bodies becoming one

And I kissed, felt your tender lips

Wiping away my winters

Just with a look

Just with a look

Sometimes I even wonder if I exist without you

Worried you're the only thing on my mind

That keeps me here

Sometimes I even wonder if I exist without you

Worried you're the only thing on my mind

That keeps me here

...

I shared, I was yours for a few hours

I don't know who you're crying for

On moonless nights

And I silenced the pain you caused me

From the arms you entered

Leaving me breathless

Leaving me breathless

Sometimes I even wonder if I exist without you

Worried you're the only thing on my mind

That keeps me here

Sometimes I even wonder if I exist without you

Worried you're the only thing on my mind

That keeps me here

Every day I love you, want you, call for you

You know I still wait

Every day I love you, want you, call for you

You know I still wait

Sometimes I even wonder if I exist without you

Worried you're the only thing on my mind

That keeps me here

Sometimes I even wonder if I exist without you (I exist without you)

Worried you're the only thing on my mind

That keeps me here

Sometimes I even wonder if I exist without you

Worried you're the only thing on my mind

That keeps me here

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh!

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh!

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh!

Oh-oh-oh-oh!

Every day I love you, want you, call for you

You know I still wait

...

[Portuguese]

Todos os dias te amo, te quero, te chamo

Tu sabes que eu ainda espero

Todos os dias te amo, te quero, te chamo

Tu sabes que eu ainda espero

Abracei os dias que tivemos

As horas que passamos

Os corpos sendo um só

E beijei, senti teus lábios ternos

Varrendo os meus invernos

Somente com um olhar

Somente com um olhar

Às vezes até me pergunto se existo sem ti

Preocupado por seres o único assunto

Que me faz manter aqui

Às vezes até me pergunto se existo sem ti

Preocupado por seres o único assunto

Que me faz manter aqui

Partilhei, fui teu por poucas horas

Não sei por quem tu choras

Nas noites sem luar

E calei a dor que me criaste

Dos braços em que entraste

Deixando-me sem ar

Deixando-me sem ar

Às vezes até me pergunto se existo sem ti

Preocupado por seres o único assunto

Que me faz manter aqui

Às vezes até me pergunto se existo sem ti

Preocupado por seres o único assunto

Que me faz manter aqui

Todos os dias te amo, te quero, te chamo

Tu sabes que eu ainda espero

Todos os dias te amo, te quero, te chamo

Tu sabes que eu ainda espero

Às vezes até me pergunto se existo sem ti

Preocupado por seres o único assunto

Que me faz manter aqui

Às vezes até me pergunto se existo sem ti (existo sem ti)

Preocupado por seres o único assunto

Que me faz manter aqui

Às vezes até me pergunto se existo sem ti

Preocupado por seres o único assunto

Que me faz manter aqui

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh!

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh!

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh!

Oh-oh-oh-oh!

Todos os dias te amo, te quero, te chamo

Tu sabes que eu ainda espero
