[English]

I pray that you find—the love of your life

Someone who is everything—you wanted

May she be a badass woman—who makes you happy

Since I wasn't the one—the person you always wanted

I love you but I know—that we won't work out

I want to see your smile—even if we're not close

Knowing how to walk away—is also a sign of love

Our story remains—but we’re done

Hopefully he—takes you on a trip

To the Eiffel Tower—where you dreamed of getting engaged

Make love to you—in the backseat of the car

Take you out for dinner—at that fancy restaurant

But let me—give you a warning

Just know—this whole thing would be much better with me

Let me warn you—this whole thing would be better with me

I love you but I know—that we won't work out

I want to see your smile—even if we're not close

Knowing how to walk away—is also a sign of love

Our story remains—but we’re done

Hopefully he—takes you on a trip

Tomara que ele te leve pra viajar

To the Eiffel Tower—where you dreamed of getting engaged

Make love to you—in the backseat of the car

Take you out for dinner—at that fancy restaurant

But let me—give you a warning

Just know—this whole thing would be much better with me

Let me warn you—this whole thing would be better with me

Just know—this whole thing would be much better with me

[Portuguese]

Eu rezo pra você achar o amor da sua vida

Alguém que seja tudo aquilo que você queria

Que ela seja uma mulher foda e te faça feliz

Já que eu não fui a pessoa que você sempre quis

Eu te amo mas eu sei que a gente não da certo

Quero ver seu sorriso @mesmo não estando perto

Saber ir embora também é prova de amor

A nossa história fica mas a gente acabou

Tomara que ele te leve pra viajar

Lá pra Torre Eiffel onde você sonhou noivar

Que faça amor contigo no banco de tras do carro

Te leve pra jantar naquele restaurante caro

Mas deixa eu te dar um aviso

Vai sabendo que isso tudo ia ser bem melhor comigo

Deixa eu te dar um aviso

Vai sabendo que isso tudo ia ser bem melhor comigo

Eu te amo mas eu sei sei seque a gente não da certo

Quero ver teu sorriso mesmo não estando perto

Saber ir embora também é prova de amor

A nossa história fica mas a gente acabou

Tomara que ele te leve pra viajar

Lá pra Torre Eiffel onde você sonhou noivar

Que faça amor contigo no banco de tras do carro

Te leve pra jantar naquele restaurante caro

Mas deixa eu te dar um aviso

Vai sabendo que isso tudo ia ser bem melhor comigo

Deixa eu te dar um aviso

Vai sabendo que isso tudo ia ser bem melhor comigo
