Tu serás a vida e o meu destino
You will be the life and my destiny
Tu serás a angústia e o tormento
You will be the anguish and the torment
Tu serás a chama que ilumina
You will be the flame that lights up
O eterno fogo de minh'alma
The eternal fire of my soul
E na noite escura, minha estrela
And in the dark night, my star
Tu serás, tu serás
You will be, you will be
Estrela que mostra o meu caminho
Star that shows my way
Tu serás, somente tu
You will be, only you
Vivo para amarte e adorarte
I live to love you and adore you
Pois és a razão dos meus desejos
For you are the reason for my desires
E se em ti não penso a todo instante
And if I don't think of you all the time
Não posso acalmar o meu tormento
I can't calm my torment
E na noite escura, minha estrela
And in the dark night, my star
Tu serás, tu serás, tu serás
You will be, you will be, you will be
Estrela que mostra o meu caminho
Star that shows me my way
Tu serás, somente tu
You will be, only you
