Lyrics

Portuguese A noite da lua cheia Na estrada que vai dar no mar. Eu e você, meu amor, E as sombras de nós dois. Só existe o silêncio neste momento, Nem uma palavra precisa de contar. Sorriso de você e sorriso meu, Podem contar tudo que [existe] agora. Nos braços da paz desta noite, Surgiu uma linda canção Que canta da beleza, Que canta da esperança, Que canta da eternidade do amor, Do amor mais lindo de nós.

English translation A full-moon night On the road that leads to the sea You and I, my love, And the shadows of ours. There's only silence on this moment-- Not even a word is needed. Your smile and mine-- Can tell everything that is [happening] now. On this night's arms of peace A beautiful song appeared That sings of beauty, That sings of hope, That sings of love's eternity Of our beautiful love.
