Lyrics

Eu não sabia explicar nós dois
Ela mais eu
Porque eu e ela
Não conhecia poemas
Nem muitas palavras belas
Mas ela foi me levando pela mão
Íamos tontos os dois
Assim ao léu
Ríamos, chorávamos sem razão
Hoje lembrando-me dela
Me vendo nos olhos dela
Sei que o que tinha de ser se deu
Porque era ela
Porque era eu

Lyrics translation

I didn't know how to explain the two of us
She plus me
Because me and her
I didn't know any poems.
Not many beautiful words
But she was taking me by the hand
We were both fools.
So to read
We laughed, we cried for no reason
Today remembering her
I see myself in her eyes
I know what had to be happened
Because it was her
Because it was me
