[English]
What more has to happen in the world
To turn your heart towards me?
How many tears should I let fall?
Which flower has to bloom to win your love?
For this love, my God, I do everything
I recite the most beautiful poems in the universe
Hoping to convince you
That my soul was born for you
Will it take a miracle
So my heart can rejoice
I swear I won't give up
Rain or shine
Because I need you to move forward
I wish I could
Hold you in autumn, summer, and spring
Perhaps live beyond a dream
Inherit luck and win your heart
I wish I could
Hold you in autumn, summer, and spring
Perhaps live beyond a dream
Inherit luck and win your heart
It will take a storm
For you to realize that my love is real
I look for you in city billboards
In the headlights' lights
In ordinary people like us
My love is pure
As big and resilient as the mighty baobab
For you, I go to places I never would
For you, I become what I never would be
I wish I could
Hold you in autumn, summer, and spring
Perhaps live beyond a dream
Inherit luck and win your heart
I wish I could
Hold you in autumn, summer, and spring
Perhaps live beyond a dream
Inherit luck and win your heart
...
I wish I could
Hold you in autumn, summer, and spring
Perhaps live beyond a dream
Inherit luck and win your heart
I wish I could
Hold you in autumn, summer, and spring
Perhaps live beyond a dream
Inherit luck and win your heart
I wish I could
...
