Tanta dor, tanta tristeza
So much pain, so much sadness
Vim de longe pra buscar meu bem querer
I came from afar to seek my beloved
Fogo que arrebenta o peito
Fire that bursts in the chest
Levou jeito, já vi tudo acontecer
It took its time, I've seen it all unfold
Vim beijar você
I came to kiss you
Abraçar você
To embrace you
Reflorescer no seu corpo, brincar
To bloom again in your body, to play
Vida, razão de amar
Life, the reason to love
Reflorescer no seu corpo, brincar
To bloom again in your body, to play
Vida, razão de amar
Life, the reason to love
Tanta dor, tanta tristeza
So much pain, so much sorrow
Vim de longe pra buscar meu bem querer
I came from afar to seek my beloved
Fogo que arrebenta o peito
Fire that bursts in the chest
Levou jeito, já vi tudo acontecer
It took skill, I've seen it all happen
Vim beijar você
I came to kiss you
Abraçar você
To embrace you
Reflorescer no seu corpo, brincar
To bloom again in your body, to play
Vida, razão de amar
Life, reason to love
Reflorescer no seu corpo, brincar
To bloom again in your body, to play
Vida, razão de amar
Life, reason to love
