Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Amo tanto e de tanto amar

I love so much and from so much love

Acho que ela é bonita

I think she's beautiful

Tem um olho sempre a boiar

She has one eye always floating

E outro que agita

And another one stirring


Tem um olho que não está

She has one eye that isn't

Meus olhares evita

Avoids my glances

E outro olho a me arregalar

And another eye staring at me

Sua pepita

Its sparkle


A metade do seu olhar

Half of her gaze

Está chamando pra luta, aflita

Is calling for a fight, anxious

E metade quer madrugar

And half wants to stay up late

Na bodeguita

In the little bar


Se os seus olhos eu for cantar

If I were to sing about your eyes

Um seu olho me atura

One eye tolerates me

E outro olho vai desmanchar

And another eye will undo

Toda a pintura

All the painting


Ela pode rodopiar

She can twirl

E mudar de figura

And change shape

A paloma do seu mirar

The dove of her gaze

Virar miúra

Turn fierce


É na soma do seu olhar

It's in the sum of your gaze

Que eu vou me conhecer inteiro

That I'll get to know myself entirely

Se nasci pra enfrentar o mar

If I was born to face the sea

Ou faroleiro

Or be a lighthouse keeper


Amo tanto e de tanto amar

I love so much and from so much love

Acho que ela acredita

I think she believes

Tem um olho a pestanejar

One eye blinking

E outro me fita

And another one staring at me


Suas pernas vão me enroscar

Her legs will entangle me

Num balé esquisito

In a strange ballet

Seus dois olhos vão se encontrar

Her two eyes will meet

No infinito

In the infinite


Amo tanto e de tanto amar

I love so much and from so much love

Em Manágua temos um chico

In Managua, we have a little boy

Já pensamos em nos casar

We've thought about getting married

Em Porto Rico

In Puerto Rico
