Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Era um rapaz

He was a boy

Estranho e encantador rapaz

Strange and charming boy

Ouvi que andara a viajar, viajar

I heard he had been traveling, traveling

Toda a terra e o mar

All over the land and sea

Menino só e tímido

A boy alone and shy

Mas sábio demais

But too wise


Eis que uma vez

Behold, once

Num dia mágico o encontrei

In a magical day, I found him

E ao conversarmos lhe falei

And as we talked, I spoke to him

Sobre os reis, sobre as leis, e a dor

About kings, about laws, and pain


E ele ensinou

And he taught

Nada é maior que dar amor

Nothing is greater than giving love

E receber de volta o amor

And receiving love back

The sweetest thing you'll ever learn

The sweetest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return

Is just to love and be loved in return
