À noite, amor
At night, my love
Vou ver o meu amor
I will see my love
A lua há de brilhar
The moon will shine
Pra nós dois
For us two
À noite, amor
At night, my love
Vou ver o meu amor
I will see my love
E pra nós as estrela virão
And for us the stars will come
E o sol que sabe que eu espero
And the sun knows that I wait
Que só a noite eu quero
That only at night do I desire
Compreende e já se vai
Understands and already departs
Ó, Deus, fazei
Oh, God, make
Fazei que a noite seja
Make the night be
Sem fim pra mim
Endless for me
E o sol que sabe que eu espero
And the sun that knows I'm waiting
Que só a noite eu quero
That I want only the night
Compreende e já se vai
Understands and leaves
Ó, Deus, fazei
Oh, God, make
Fazei que a noite seja
Make the night be
Sem fim pra mim
Endless for me
