Enquanto eu corria assim, eu ia lhe chamar
While I was running like this, I was going to call you
Enquanto corria a barca, lhe chamar
While the boat was sailing, to call you
Enquanto corria a barca, lhe chamar
While the boat was sailing, to call you
Enquanto corria a barca
While the boat was sailing
Por minha cabeça não passava
It didn't cross my mind
Só, somente, só
Only, just, only
Assim vou lhe chamar, assim você vai ser
So this is how I'll call you, this is how you'll be
Só, só, somente, só
Only, only, just, only
Assim vou lhe chamar, assim você vai ser
So this is how I'll call you, this is how you'll be
Só, somente, só
Only, just, only
Assim vou lhe chamar, assim você vai ser
So that's what I'll call you, that's who you'll be
Laiarara, lalararara

Black, black, little black
Preta, preta, pretinha
Black, black, little black
Preta, preta, pretinha
Black, black, little black

Enquanto eu corria assim, eu ia lhe chamar
While I was running like this, I would call you
Enquanto corria a barca, lhe chamar
While the boat was moving, to call you
Enquanto corria a barca, lhe chamar
While the boat was moving, to call you
Enquanto corria a barca
While the boat was moving
Por minha cabeça não passava
It never crossed my mind
Só, somente, só
Only, just, only
Assim vou lhe chamar, assim você vai ser
This is how I'll call you, this is how you'll be
Só, só, somente, só
Only, only, just, only
Assim vou lhe chamar, assim você vai ser
This is how I'll call you, this is how you'll be
Só, só, somente, só

Abre a porta e a janela
Open the door and the window
E vem ver o sol nascer
And come see the sun rise
Abre a porta e a janela
Open the door and the window
E vem ver o sol nascer
And come see the sun rise
Abre a porta e a janela
Open the door and the window
E vem ver o sol nascer
And come see the sun rise
Abre a porta e a janela
Open the door and the window
E vem ver o sol nascer
And come see the sun rise
Abre a porta e a janela
Open the door and the window
E vem ver o sol nascer
And come see the sun rise
Abre a porta e a janela
Open the door and the window
E vem ver o sol nascer
And come see the sun rise
Eu sou um pássaro que vivo avoando
I am a bird that keeps on flying
Vivo avoando sem nunca mais parar
I keep on flying without ever stopping
Ai ai, ai ai saudade, não venha me matar
Oh oh, oh oh longing, don't come to kill me
Ai ai, ai ai saudade, não venha me matar
Oh oh, oh oh longing, don't come to kill me
Ai ai, saudade, não venha me matar
Oh oh, longing, don't come to kill me
Ai ai, ai ai saudade, não venha me mata
Oh oh, oh oh longing, don't come to kill me
