Se algum dia eu conseguir cantar bonito
If one day I manage to sing beautifully
Muito terá sido por causa de você, Nicinha
It will be largely because of you, Nicinha
A vida tem uma dívida
Life has a debt
Com a música perdida
With the lost music
No silêncio dos seus dedos
In the silence of your fingers
E no canto dos meus medos
And in the song of my fears
E no entanto, você é a alegria da vida
And yet, you are the joy of life
