Lyrics

Um raio de luz, senta na bo rosto
Ele lumiam caminho, de nha destino
Amim, jam conchê felicidade
O Deus, mas que pura verdade …
Esse bô odjinho, di luz sim c’ma prata
Esse bô rostinho, ta parce-me qu’um santa
O Cize, bô qu'ê luz di nha vida
Jam crê morrê,
Si bô negam, querida
'M dormi nôte, 'm sonha qu’nha crêtcheu
Um sonho feliz, mas que realidade
'M pedi Deus, pa bô bem ser di meu
Sem bô amôr, 'm ca tem felicidade
TRADUCTION
Un rayon de lumière sur ton visage
M’illumine la voie de mon destin
Je connais le bonheur
Oh Dieu c’est la pure vérité
Tes yeux à la lumière d’argent
Pour moi ton visage est celui d’une sainte
Oh Cize, tu es la lumière de ma vie
Je veux mourir
Si tu me repousses, ma chérie.
La nuit je rêve à ma bien-aimée
Un rêve heureux, plus encore que la réalité
Je prie Dieu pour que tu sois à moi
Sans ton amour, il n’y a pas de bonheur

Lyrics translation

A ray of light, sits on the face bo

TRANSLATION
A ray of light on your face
Illuminates the path of my destiny
I know happiness
Oh God it's the pure truth
Your eyes in the silver light
For me your face is that of a saint
Oh Cize, you are the light of my life
I want to die
If you push me away, honey.
At night I dream to my beloved
A happy dream, even more than reality
I pray to God that you are mine
Without your love, there is no happiness
