Mas não consigo porque
But I can't because
Por você eu me enfeiticei
For you, I enchanted myself
Por você eu me namorei
For you, I fell in love with me
Por você eu me enfeiticei
For you, I enchanted myself
Por você eu me namorei
For you, I fell in love with me
Sei que não devo
I know I shouldn't
Querer você tanto assim
Want you this much
Pois esse desejo
Because this desire
É proibido para mim
Is forbidden for me
Mas foi aquele beijo
But it was that kiss
Sem querer
Unintentionally
Que você me deu
That you gave me
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Mas foi aquele beijo
But it was that kiss
Sem querer
Unintentionally
Que você me deu
That you gave me
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
For you, it was born
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
For you, it was born
Sei que não devo
I know I shouldn't
Querer você tanto assim
Want you this much
Pois esse desejo
Because this desire
É proibido para mim
Is forbidden for me
Mas foi aquele beijo
But it was that kiss
Sem querer
Unintentionally
Que você me deu
That you gave me
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Mas foi aquele beijo
But it was that kiss
Sem querer
Unintentionally
Que você me deu
That you gave me
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
For you was born
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
For you was born
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
For you was born
