[English]

The two of us in the same car

Running late for dinner

I hadn't even noticed

You had something to tell me

Rain was falling in your eyes

And I didn’t even know

Why?

I wanted to hold you

And tell you that when you fall

My arms become a home

I felt in your eyes

For now, we are two

You say we're going to be

More than just one life, whatever happens

There's a safe harbor, and I want to be yours

Everything in this life and the next

I'm waiting for the day you call me

To hold you

And tell you that when you fall

My arms become a home

I felt in your eyes

We are no longer just the two

You say we're going to be parents

While she watches over you, I soothe my hand

In the belly that’s also a home, where a heart beats

I want to live everything with you for the first time

Be your answer in the age of why

And hold you

Tell you that when you fall

My arms become a home

I felt in your eyes

For now, we are two

You say we're going to be

More than just one life, whatever happens

There's a safe harbor, and I want to be yours

Everything in this life and the next

I'm waiting for the day you call me

To hold you

And tell you that when you fall

My arms become a home

I felt in your eyes

We are no longer just the two

You say we're going to be parents

Being part of me, will come

I breathe your breath into mine, unknowingly

I wanted to hold you

And tell you that when you fall

My arms become a home

I felt in your eyes

We are no longer just the two

You say we're going to be

Parents

[Portuguese]

Eu e ela no mesmo carro

Atrasados p'ra jantar

Nem tinha notado

Tinhas algo p'ra contar

Chovia nos teus olhos

E eu mesmo sem saber

Porquê?

Quis-te abraçar

E dizer que quando cais

O meu colo vira lar

Senti no teu olhar

Por agora somos dois

Dizes que vamos ser

Mais que uma só vida, venha o que vier

Há um porto de abrigo e p'ra ti quero ser

Tudo nesta vida e na que vier

Espero pelo dia em que me chames

P'ra te abraçar

E dizer que quando cais

O meu colo vira lar

Senti no teu olhar

Já não somos só os dois

Dizes que vamos ser pais

Enquanto ela te guarda, eu acalmo a minha mão

No ventre que é morada onde bate um coração

Quero viver contigo tudo pela primeira vez

Ser-te a resposta na idade dos porquês

E abraçar

Dizer que quando cais

O meu colo vira lar

Senti no teu olhar

Por agora somos dois

Dizes que vamos ser

Mais que uma só vida, venha o que vier

Há um porto de abrigo e pra ti quero ser

Tudo nesta vida e na que vier

Espero pelo dia em que me chames

P'ra te abraçar

E dizer que quando cais

O meu colo vira lar

Senti no teu olhar

Já não somos só os dois

Dizes que vamos ser pais

Sendo do meu ser, virá

Sopro o teu no meu que dá sem saber

Quis-te abraçar

E dizer que quando cais

O meu colo vira lar

Senti no teu olhar

Já não somos só os dois

Dizes que vamos ser

Pais
