Fala-me de amor
Talk to me about love
Mesmo que sejas pra mentir
Even if you're lying
Fala-me de amor
Talk to me about love
Se vais partir
If you're going to leave
Um beijo louco
A wild kiss
Para lembrar o que passou
To remember what was
Dura tão pouco
It lasts so little
Mesmo que seja o fim
Even if it's the end
Aperta-me assim
Hold me like this
E nos braços teus
In your arms
Toda magia viverei
I will live all the magic
Beija-me assim
Kiss me like this
Depois, adeus
Then, goodbye
Eu queria sentir teu beijo
I wanted to feel your kiss
Com carinho e emoção
With tenderness and emotion
E guardar este amor tão puro
And keep this love so pure
No fundo do coração
Deep in my heart
