Ah, meu bem amado
Ah, my beloved
Quero fazer de um juramento
I want to make a vow
Uma canção
Into a song
Eu prometo, por toda a minha vida
I promise, for all my life
Ser somente tua
To be only yours
E amar-te como nunca ninguém jamais amou ninguém
And love you like no one has ever loved anyone
Ó, meu bem amado
Oh, my beloved
Estrela pura aparecida
Pure star that has appeared
Eu te amo e te proclamo o meu amor
I love you and proclaim my love for you
O meu amor
My love
Maior que tudo quanto existe
Greater than everything that exists
Ah, meu amor
Ah, my love
