Se eu pudesse por um dia
If I could for a day
Esse amor essa alegria
This love, this joy
Eu te juro, te daria
I swear to you, I would give it
Se pudesse esse amor todo dia
If I could, this love every day
Chega perto, vem sem medo
Come closer, come without fear
Chega mais, meu coração
Come closer, my heart
Vem ouvir esse segredo
Come hear this secret
Escondido num choro canção
Hidden in a tearful song
Se soubesses como eu gosto
If you knew how I like it
Do teu cheiro, teu jeito de flor
Your scent, your way of being a flower
Não negavas um beijinho
You wouldn't deny a little kiss
A quem anda perdido de amor
To those lost in love
Chora flauta, chora pinho
Crying flute, crying pine
Choro eu, o teu cantor
I cry, your singer
Chora manso, bem baixinho
Softly weeping, oh so quiet
Este choro falando de amor
This sorrow speaks of love
Quando passas tão bonita
When you pass by so beautiful
Nessa rua banhada de Sol
On this street bathed in sunlight
Minha alma segue aflita
My soul follows, distressed
Eu me esqueço até do futebol
I even forget about football
Vem depressa, vem sem medo
Come quickly, come without fear
Foi pra ti meu coração
It was for you my heart
Que eu guardei este segredo
That I kept this secret
Lá no fundo de um choro canção
Deep within a weeping song
Lá no fundo do meu coração
Deep inside my heart
