Nos teus olhos
In your eyes
Vejo a luz com que sempre sonhei
I see the light I've always dreamed of
Nos teus lábios
On your lips
Sinto os beijos que às vezes roubei
I feel the kisses I sometimes stole
Vem de novo a saudade em meu peito apertar
Once again, the longing tightens in my chest
E por isso eu canto os teus olhos
And that's why I sing your eyes
As estrelas refletem o brilhar dos teus lábios
The stars reflect the shine of your lips
Beijos mil me fazem lembrar
A thousand kisses make me remember
Desde então não sonho e nem vivo
Since then, I neither dream nor live
Porque amor só posso encontrar
Because love is all I can find
Nos teus lábios
On your lips
E os teus olhos quero olhar
And I want to gaze into your eyes
Vem de novo a saudade em meu peito apertar
Once again, longing tightens in my chest
E por isso eu canto os teus olhos
And that's why I sing of your eyes
As estrelas refletem o brilhar dos teus lábios
The stars reflect the shine of your lips
Beijos mil me fazem lembrar
A thousand kisses make me remember
Desde então não sonho e nem vivo
Since then, I neither dream nor live
Porque amor só posso encontrar
Because love I can only find
Nos teus lábios
On your lips
E os teus olhos quero olhar
And I want to gaze into your eyes
Sim, teus olhos quero olhar
Yes, I want to look into your eyes
