Full lyrics

O amor quando começa

Chega sempre de surpresa

Tanto faz ser numa igreja

Ou num mesa de bar


Pega somente de olhar

Vai bater no coração

Deixa um gostinho na boca

Que não se esquece mais não


Pega somente de olhar

Vai bater no coração

Deixa um gostinho na boca

Que não se esquece mais não


E tome cana e roedeira, morena!

E tome noite sem dormir, morena!

E tome de pensar besteira, morena!

E tome choro e aí de mim!


E tome cana e roedeira, morena!

E tome noite sem dormir, morena!

E tome de pensar besteira, morena!

E tome choro e aí de mim!

Translation

Love, when it begins,

Always arrives as a surprise.

It doesn't matter if it's in a church,

Or at a bar table.


It only takes a glance,

To strike the heart.

It leaves a taste in the mouth,

That you'll never forget.


It only takes a glance,

To strike the heart.

It leaves a taste in the mouth,

That you'll never forget.


So drink sugarcane liquor and worry, my darling!

So spend sleepless nights, my darling!

So think foolish things, my darling!

So cry, and woe is me!


So drink sugarcane liquor and worry, my darling!

So spend sleepless nights, my darling!

So think foolish things, my darling!

So cry, and woe is me!
