Senhoras e senhores, samba esporte fino apresenta para vocês, Carlos Dafé
Ladies and gentlemen, samba refined sport presents to you, Carlos Dafé
Até surgir a madrugada
Until dawn breaks
Vou venerar a minha amada
I will worship my beloved
Trocar o pranto pelo canto
Exchanging tears for song
E uma vontade intensa
And an intense desire
De se encher de amor
To be filled with love
Beijos e abraços seja aonde for
Kisses and hugs wherever it may be
Seja
So be it
Tenha paciência tanta penitência
Have patience, so much penance
Eu não posso mais viver assim
I can’t live like this anymore
Tenha paciência
Have patience
Seja mais amiga
Be more of a friend
Vou te venerar até o fim
I will worship you until the end
Na madrugada
In the early morning
Oh minha amada
Oh my beloved
De alegria
Of joy
Raiou o dia
The day has dawned
A alegria de nascer
The joy of being born
Alegria de cantar
The joy of singing
Alegria de viver
The joy of living
Alegria de amar
Joy of love
Em paz
In peace
De amar em paz
Loving in peace
