De todas as maneiras que há de amar
In all the ways there are to love
Nós já nos amamos
We have already loved each other
Com todas as palavras feitas pra sangrar
With all the words made to bleed
Já nos cortamos
We have already cut ourselves
Agora já passa da hora, tá lindo lá fora
Now it’s past time, it’s beautiful outside
Larga a minha mão, solta as unhas do meu coração
Let go of my hand, release your claws from my heart
Que ele está apressado
For it is in a hurry
E desanda a bater desvairado
And it starts to beat wildly
Quando entra o verão
When summer comes
De todas as maneiras que há de amar
In all the ways there are to love
Já nos machucamos
We've already hurt each other
Com todas as palavras feitas pra humilhar
With all the words made to humiliate
Nos afagamos
We comfort each other
Agora já passa da hora, tá lindo lá fora
Now it's already past the time, it's beautiful outside
Larga a minha mão, solta as unhas do meu coração
Let go of my hand, release your claws from my heart
Que ele está apressado
Because it's in a rush
E desanda a bater desvairado
And starts beating wildly
Quando entra o verão
When summer arrives
