Água de beber, beberá
Drinkable water, they'll drink
Que nem água de coco
Like coconut water
Cheiro de querer, camará
The scent of desire, my friend
E perfume no corpo
And perfume on the body
Que nem água de coco, beberá
Like coconut water, they'll drink
É perfume no corpo, camará
It's perfume on the body, my friend
Pra quem e bem chegado, saravá
For those who are close, saravá
Pra quem chega cansado, oxalá
For those who arrive tired, oxalá
(Como é bom viver ...)
(How good it is to live ...)
Água de beber, beberá
Drinkable water, they'll drink
Que nem água de coco
Like coconut water
Cheiro de querer, camará
The scent of longing, my friend
É perfume no corpo
It's perfume on the skin
Pra quem gosta do vento, ventará
For those who love the wind, it will blow
Pra quem gosta da chuva, choverá
For those who love the rain, it will rain
Pra quem gosta de lua, luará
For those who love the moon, it will shine
Pra quem quer dia clara, sol virá
For those who want a clear day, the sun will come
Gosto de ficar imaginando o que teus olhos me pedem
I love to imagine what your eyes are asking of me
Gosto de ficar nessa preguiça, espreguicando de amor
I love to lounge around, stretching with love
Gosto de ficar advinhando o que teus olhos refletem
I love to guess what your eyes reflect
A teu lado a vida fica mais bonita não tem choro, nem dor
By your side, life becomes more beautiful, there are no tears, no pain
(Como é bom viver ...)
(How good it is to live ...)
(Junto com você ...)
(Together with you ...)
Água de beber, beberá
Drinkable water, will drink
Que nem água de coco
Just like coconut water
Cheiro de querer, camará
The scent of desire, my friend
É perfume no corpo
It's perfume on the body
E quem gosta da vida, viverá
And those who love life will live
E quem anda sem pressa, chegará
And those who go without haste will arrive
Quem precisa de santo, rezará
Whoever needs a saint will pray
Quem tem fogo no corpo, pecará
Whoever has fire in their body will sin
Gosto de ficar nessa loucura sem saber o que eu digo
I like to stay in this madness not knowing what I say
Gosto de ficar nessa preguiça, espreguicando de amor
I like to lounge in this laziness, stretching with love
Gosto de ficar nesse delírio, delirando contigo
I like to be in this delirium, dreaming with you
A teu lado a vida fica mais bonita não tem choro, nem dor
By your side, life becomes more beautiful, there's no crying or pain
(Como é bom viver ...)
(How good it is to live ...)
(Junto com você ...)
(Along with you ...)
Gosto de ficar imaginando o que teus olhos me pedem
I like to imagine what your eyes are asking of me
Gosto de ficar nessa preguiça, espreguicando de amor
I like to lounge in this laziness, stretching with love
Gosto de ficar advinhando o que teus olhos refletem
I like to guess what your eyes reflect
A teu lado a vida fica mais bonita não tem choro, nem dor
By your side, life becomes more beautiful, there's no tears, no pain
(Como é bom viver ...) Água de beber, beberá
(How good it is to live ...) Water to drink, will drink
Que nem água de coco
Like coconut water
(Junto com você ...) Cheiro de querer, camará
(Together with you ...) Scent of desire, my friend
É perfume no corpo
It's perfume on the body
Que nem água de coco, beberá
Like coconut water, will drink
É perfume no corpo, camará
It's perfume on the body, my friend
Pra quem e bem chegado, saravá
For those who are close, saravá
Pra quem chega cansado, oxalá
For those who arrive tired, oxalá
Pra quem gosta do vento, ventará
For those who love the wind, it will blow
Pra quem gosta da chuva, choverá
For those who love the rain, it will rain
Pra quem gosta de lua, luará
For those who love the moon, it will shine
Pra quem quer dia clara, sol virá
For those who want clear days, the sun will come
(Como é bom viver ...) E quem gosta da vida, viverá
(How good it is to live ...) And those who love life will live
E quem anda sem pressa, chegará
And those who walk without haste will arrive
(Junto com você ...) Quem precisa de santo, rezará
(Together with you ...) Those who need a saint will pray
Quem tem fogo no corpo, pecará
Those who have fire in their bodies will sin
Água de beber, beberá
Drinking water, they will drink
Cheiro de querer, camará
The scent of desire, they'll feel
Água de coco, beberá
Coconut water, they will drink
E assim no meu corpo, camará (como é bom viver ...)
And so in my body, my friend (how good it is to live ...)
Gosta do vento, ventará (junto com você ...)
Loves the wind, it will blow (with you ...)
Chega cansado, oxalá (como é bom viver ...)
Arrives tired, hopefully (how good it is to live ...)
Anda sem pressa, chegará (junto com você ...)
Moves along slowly, it will arrive (with you ...)
Água de beber, beberá (como é bom viver ...)
Drinking water, it will drink (how good it is to live ...)
