Você viu só que amor?
Did you see that love?
Nunca vi coisa assim
I've never seen anything like this
E passou, nem parou
And it flowed, didn’t stop
Mas olhou só pra mim
But it looked only at me
Se voltar, vou atrás
If it comes back, I’ll follow
Vou pedir, vou falar
I'll ask, I'll speak
Vou contar que o amor
I'll tell that love
Foi feitinho pra dar
Was made just to give
Olha, é como o verão
Look, it's like summer
Quente o coração
Hot is the heart
Salta de repente para ver
Jump in suddenly to see
A menina que vem
The girl who's coming
Ela vem, sempre tem
She comes, there's always a spark
Esse mar no olhar
That sea in her gaze
E vai ver, tem que ser
And you'll see, it has to be
Nunca tem quem amar
There's never anyone to love
Hoje sim, diz que sim
Today yes, say yes
Já cansei de esperar
I'm so tired of waiting
Nem parei, nem dormi
Neither stopped, nor slept
Só pensando em me dar
Just thinking about giving myself
Peço, mas você não vem
I ask, but you don't come
Bem...
Well...
Deixo então
I let it go then
Falo só, digo ao céu
I speak alone, I tell the sky
Mas você vem
But you do come
Olha, é como o verão
Look, it's like summer
Quente o coração
Warm is the heart
Salta de repente para ver
Jumps suddenly to see
A menina que vem
The girl who comes
Ela vem, sempre tem
She comes, there's always one
Esse mar no olhar
That sea in your gaze
E vai ver, tem que ser
And you'll see, it has to be
Nunca tem quem amar
There's never anyone to love
Hoje sim, diz que sim
Today yes, say yes
Já cansei de esperar
I'm tired of waiting
Nem parei, nem dormi
Neither stopped, nor slept
Só pensando em me dar
Just thinking of giving myself
Peço, mas você não vem
I ask, but you don't come
Bem...
Well...
Deixo então
Then I let go
Falo só, digo ao céu
I speak alone, I tell the sky
Mas você vem
But you come
