Se você pensava bem no amor achar
If you thought well about finding love
O bem no amor encontrará
The good in love you'll find
E quando você quiser
And whenever you wish
Vá buscar ternura no amor que existe
Go seek tenderness in the love that exists
Num lugar feito pra dois
In a place made for two
Sim, vá buscar
Yes, go seek
Tem perfume a flor que nasce no jardim ao sol
The flower blooming in the sunlit garden has a scent
De ver tanto encanto na flor
From seeing so much beauty in the flower
Fui pedir à rosa viva e multicor
I went to ask the vibrant, multicolored rose
Perfume e cor
For fragrance and color
Fiz nosso amor e o mundo pra nós dois
I made our love and the world for just the two of us
Se você pensava bem no amor achar
If you thought deeply about finding love
O bem no amor encontrará
You will find the good in love
E quando você quiser
And when you want to
Vá buscar ternura no amor que existe
Go seek tenderness in the love that exists
Num lugar feito pra dois
In a place made for two
Sim, vá buscar
Yes, go seek
Tem perfume a flor que nasce no jardim ao sol
The flower blooming in the sun has a sweet scent
De ver tanto encanto na flor
Seeing so much beauty in the flower
Fui pedir à rosa viva e multicor
I went to ask the vibrant, multicolored rose
Perfume e cor
Perfume and color
Fiz nosso amor e o mundo pra nós dois
I made our love and the world just for us two
