Agora é me dedicar
Now it's time to devote myself
Inteiramente ao nosso amor
Completely to our love
Cantar nossa música
To sing our song
Agora é só decidir
Now it's just a matter of deciding
Aonde queremos ir
Where we want to go
Armar nossa tenda
To set up our tent
Armar nossa tenda
To set up our tent
Já que a nossa varanda vai ser
Since our balcony will be
A estrada da vida
The road of life
Por onde o sol passará
Where the sun will shine
E a lua também virá
And the moon will also come
Contar nossa lenda
To tell our tale
E os tempos futuros vão saber como foi
And the times to come will know how it was
Escrever nos muros vão
Writing on the walls they will
Nas pedras do chão
On the stones of the ground
A história da nossa ilusão
The story of our illusion
A história da nossa ilusão
The story of our illusion
