Lyrics
Vivia a te buscar
Porque pensando em ti Corria contra o tempo
Eu descartava os dias
Em que no te vi
Como de um filme
A ao que no valeu
Rodava as horas pra trs
Roubava um pouquinho
E ajeitava o meu caminho
Pra encostar no teu
Subia na montanha
No como anda um corpo
Mas um sentimento
Eu surpreendia o sol
Antes do sol raiar
Saltava as noites
Sem me refazer
E pela porta de trs
Da casa vazia
Eu ingressaria
E te veria
Confusa por me ver
Chegando assim
Mil dias antes de te conhecer
Lyrics translation
I lived to look for you
Because thinking of you ran against time
I'd rule out the days
Where I didn't see you
Like a movie
To what was not worth
It rotated the hours to trs
Stole a little bit
And set my way
To lean on your
Climb the mountain
In the way a body walks
But a feeling
I surprised the sun
Before the sun goes up
He skipped the nights
Without remaking myself
And through the door of trs
From the empty house
I would join
And I'd see you
Confused to see me
Coming so
A thousand days before I met you
