Full lyrics
Lá estava ela me olhando
Os teus cabelos penteando
E eu querendo me achegar
Tomei coragem e fui caminhando
Me disfarcei, assobiando
Mas quando eu fui olhar
Chegou com seu jeitinho faceiro
Alegrou me por inteiro
Eu tive que falar
Lua brilhando, caiu orvalho na rosa
Noite bonita e saudosa, quero encontrar meu amor
Vem com certeza que teu amado te espera
Nesse pedaço de terra para criar nossa fulô
Mas o tempo chegou traiçoeiro
Querendo arrasar por inteiro
Quando eu fui perceber
As coisas foram se esfriando
Mas continuamos nos amando
Isso não acaba assim
As nossas vidas se misturaram
Carinhos não se acabaram
E tenho que dizer
Me de a mão, vamos ficar bem juntinhos
Reconstruir nosso ninho
Acalentar com calor
Deus, lá no céu, ilumina nosso caminho
Tire as pedras e espinhos
Coloque paz e amor
Translation
There she was, looking at me
Combing your hair
And I wanting to get closer
I took courage and started walking
I disguised myself, whistling
But when I went to look
She arrived with her charming manner
Cheered me up completely
I had to speak
Moon shining, dew fell on the rose
Beautiful and longing night, I want to find my love
Come with certainty that your beloved awaits you
In this piece of land to create our flower
But time arrived treacherous
Wishing to destroy everything completely
When I realized
Things started to cool down
But we continued loving each other
It doesn't end like this
Our lives became intertwined
Affection didn't end
And I have to say
Give me your hand, let's stay very close together
Rebuild our nest
Warm it with heat
God, up in heaven, illuminate our path
Remove the stones and thorns
Place peace and love
