Eu, você, nós dois
Me, you, the two of us
Aqui nesse terraço à beira-mar
Here on this terrace by the sea
O sol já vai caindo e o seu olhar
The sun is already setting and your gaze
Parece acompanhar a cor do mar
Seems to match the color of the sea
Você tem de ir embora
You have to leave
A tarde cai, em cores se desfaz
The evening falls, in colors it fades away
Escureceu, o sol caiu no mar
It got dark, the sun sank in the sea
E aquela luz lá embaixo se acendeu
And that light down there has turned on
Você e eu
You and I
Eu, você, nós dois
Me, you, the two of us
Sozinhos neste bar à meia-luz
Alone in this dimly lit bar
E uma grande lua saiu do mar
And a great moon has risen from the sea
Parece que esse bar já vai fechar
It seems like this bar is about to close
E há sempre uma canção para contar
And there's always a song to tell
Aquela velha história de um desejo
That old story of a desire
Que todas as canções têm pra contar
That all songs have to share
E veio aquele beijo
And then came that kiss
Aquele beijo
That kiss
Aquele beijo
That kiss
Eu, você, nós dois
You and me, just the two of us
E aquele beijo
And that kiss
