Oh vem, meu doce bem
Oh come, my sweet love
Ao meu pequeno mundo de ilusão
To my little world of illusion
São teus os sonhos meus
Your dreams are mine
No meu pequeno mundo de ilusão
In my little world of illusion
Só tu então
Only you then
Serás a inspiração
Will be the inspiration
E neste mundo terás meu coração
And in this world, you'll have my heart
E se, meu doce bem
And if, my sweet love
Vieres aplacar estas paixão
You come to soothe this passion
Serão somente teus
They will be solely yours
O meu pequeno mundo e a ilusão
My little world and the illusion
Eu sempre quis
I've always wanted
Contigo, coração
With you, my heart
Viver feliz
To live happily
Em meu mundo de ilusão
In my world of illusion
E se, meu doce bem
And if, my sweet one
Vieres aplacar estas paixão
You come to soothe this passion
Serão somente teus
They will belong only to you
O meu pequeno mundo e a ilusão
My little world and the illusion
Eu sempre quis
I've always wanted
Contigo, coração
With you, my heart
Viver feliz
Living happy
Em meu mundo de ilusão
In my world of illusion
