É você
It's you
Só você
Only you
Que na vida vai comigo agora
Who in life will go with me now
Nós dois na floresta e no salão
Us two in the forest and in the hall
Ninguém mais
No one else
Deita no meu peito e me devora
Lies on my chest and devours me
Na vida só resta seguir
In life, all that's left is to follow
Um risco, um passo, um gesto rio afora
A risk, a step, a gesture down the river
É você
It's you
Só você
Only you
Que invadiu o centro do espelho
That invaded the center of the mirror
Nós dois na biblioteca e no saguão
Just us two in the library and the hall
Ninguém mais
No one else
Deita no meu leito e se demora
Lie down on my bed and take your time
Na vida só resta seguir
In life, all that's left is to keep going
Um risco, um passo, um gesto rio afora
A risk, a step, a gesture down the river
Na vida só resta seguir
In life, all that's left is to keep going
Um ritmo, um pacto e o resto rio afora
A rhythm, a pact, and the rest down the river
