Você voltou, meu amor
You came back, my love
Alegria que me deu
The joy you gave me
Quando a porta abriu
When the door opened
Você me olhou você sorriu
You looked at me, you smiled
A você se derreteu
To you, I melted
E se atirou, me envolveu, me brincou
And you threw yourself, wrapped me up, played with me
Conferiu o que era seu
Checked what was yours
É verdade eu reconheço
It's true, I acknowledge it
Eu tantas fiz
I did so much
Mas agora tanto faz
But now, it doesn't matter
O perdão pediu se preço, meu amor
Forgiveness asked for a price, my love
Eu te amo
I love you
E Deus é mais
And God is greater
Você voltou, meu amor
You returned, my love
Alegria que me deu
The joy you gave me
Quando a porta abriu
When the door opened
Você me olhou você sorriu
You looked at me, you smiled
A você se derreteu
To you, it melted
E se atirou, me envolveu, me brincou
And threw yourself at me, wrapped me up, played with me
Conferiu o que era seu
Checked what was yours
É verdade eu reconheço
It's true, I acknowledge it
Eu tantas fiz
I did so many things
Mas agora tanto faz
But now it doesn't matter
O perdão pediu se preço, meu amor
Forgiveness asks for a price, my love
Eu te amo
I love you
E Deus é mais
And God knows best
É verdade eu reconheço
It's true, I acknowledge it
Eu tantas fiz
I did so many things
Mas agora tanto faz
But now it doesn't matter
O perdão pediu se preço, meu amor
Forgiveness asks for a price, my love
Eu te amo
I love you
E Deus é mais
And God is greater
