De repente fico rindo à toa
Suddenly I find myself laughing for no reason
Sem saber por quê
Not knowing why
E vem a vontade de sonhar
And the urge to dream comes
De novo te encontrar
To meet you again
Foi tudo tão de repente
It all happened so suddenly
Eu não consigo esquecer
I can't forget
E confesso, tive medo
And I confess, I was afraid
Quase disse não
I almost said no
Mas o seu jeito de me olhar
But your way of looking at me
A fala mansa, meio rouca
The soft voice, slightly hoarse
Foi me deixando quase louca
It was driving me almost crazy
Já não podia mais pensar
I could no longer think
Eu me dei toda pra você
I gave my all to you
De repente fico rindo à toa
Suddenly, I find myself laughing for no reason
Sem saber por quê
Not knowing why
E vem a vontade de sonhar
And the urge to dream comes
De novo te encontrar
To find you again
Foi tudo tão de repente
It all happened so suddenly
Eu não consigo esquecer
I can't forget
E confesso, tive medo
And I confess, I was afraid
Quase disse não
I almost said no
E meio louca de prazer
And half crazy with pleasure
Lembro teu corpo no espelho
I remember your body in the mirror
E vem o cheiro de amor
And here comes the scent of love
Eu te sinto tão presente
I feel you so present
Volte logo, meu amor
Come back soon, my love
