Full lyrics
Ele sempre teve medo
Dos pingos da chuva
E ela sempre teve medo
Dos raios do sol
E ele sempre teve medo
Do sol, da chuva
Do casamento da raposa com o rouxinol
E ele sempre teve medo
De abrir a boca
Ela sempre teve medo
De perder a voz
Ele sempre teve medo
De mirar a louça
Quebrar a mesa
E não poder voltar atrás
Ele sempre teve medo
Dos raios da chuva
E ela sempre teve medo
Dos pingos do sol
E ele sempre teve medo
Do sol, da chuva
Do casamento da raposa com o rouxinol
E ele sempre teve medo
De abrir a boca
Ela sempre teve medo
De perder a voz
Ele sempre teve medo
De mirar a mesa
Quebrar a louça
E não poder voltar atrás
Translation
He was always afraid
Of raindrops
And she was always afraid
Of sunbeams
And he was always afraid
Of the sun, of the rain
Of the fox's wedding with the nightingale
And he was always afraid
Of opening his mouth
She was always afraid
Of losing her voice
He was always afraid
Of looking at the dishes
Breaking the table
And not being able to go back
He was always afraid
Of sunbeams
And she was always afraid
Of raindrops
And he was always afraid
Of the sun, of the rain
Of the fox's wedding with the nightingale
And he was always afraid
Of opening his mouth
She was always afraid
Of losing her voice
He was always afraid
Of looking at the table
Breaking the dishes
And not being able to go back
