Madrugada chegou
Dawn has arrived
O sereno caiu
The dew has fallen
Meu amor de cansaço
My love, from exhaustion
Caiu nos meus braços
Fell into my arms
Sorriu e dormiu
Smiled and slept
Madrugada chegou
Dawn has arrived
O sereno caiu
The dew has fallen
Meu amor de cansaço
My love, from exhaustion
Caiu nos meus braços
Fell into my arms
Sorriu e dormiu
Smiled and slept
Eu só queria
I only wanted
Que não amanhecesse o dia
For the day not to dawn
Que não chegasse a madrugada
For the midnight not to arrive
Eu só queria amor
I only wanted love
Amor e mais nada
Love and nothing more
Madrugada chegou
Midnight has arrived
O sereno caiu
The dew has fallen
Meu amor de cansaço
My love, exhausted
Caiu nos meus braços
Fell into my arms
Sorriu e dormiu
Smiled and slept
Madrugada chegou
Dawn has arrived
O sereno caiu
The dew has fallen
Meu amor de cansaço
My love, exhausted
Caiu nos meus braços
Fell into my arms
Sorriu e dormiu
Smiled and fell asleep
Eu só queria
I just wanted
Que não amanhecesse o dia
For the day not to break
Que não chegasse a madrugada
For the dawn not to come
Eu só queria amor
I just wanted love
Amor e mais nada
Love and nothing more
Eu só queria amor
I just wanted love
Amor e mais nada
Love and nothing more
Eu só queria amor
I just wanted love
Amor e mais nada
Love and nothing more
Eu só queria amor
I just wanted love
Amor e mais nada
Love and nothing more
