[Intro – Warm Rhodes, Deep Bass, Soft Atmospheric Pads]
(Mmm… Ooh…)
(Ooh, yeah…)
[Verse 1 – Smooth, Clear Vocal Delivery]
Já não consigo fugir…
I can no longer escape…
do que eu sinto…
what I feel…
Nem esconder…
Nor hide…
o que existe em mim…
what exists within me…
Por mais que eu queira …
However much I want…
seguir outro caminho…
to follow another path…
Meu coração…
My heart…
me leva até você…
takes me to you…
Eu não sei mais…
I don't know anymore…
o que fazer…
what to do…
Com esse amor…
With this love…
que me consome pouco a pouco…
that consumes me little by little…
[Short Vocal Pause]
Você é o meu primeiro pensamento…
You are my first thought…
O amor que tanto procurei…
The love I sought so much…
Você me faz esquecer…
You make me forget…
as dores que ficaram pra trás…
the pains that were left behind…
(Ooooh…)
[Pre-Chorus – Emotional Build, Controlled Phrasing]
Não quero mais negar…
I don't want to deny anymore…
Nem procurar razões…
Nor look for reasons…
pra esconder esse amor…
to hide this love…
Que já não cabe em mim…
That no longer fits inside me…
Pois tudo o que eu desejo…
Because all I desire…
é ter você aqui…
is to have you here…

Só quero você…
I only want you…

Preciso de você aqui…
I need you here…
pra me fazer feliz…
to make me happy…
(Oh, yeah… Ooh…)
[Short Instrumental Breath]
Quando estou com você…
When I'm with you…
a tristeza vai embora…
sadness goes away…
Tudo muda…
Everything changes…
ao meu redor…
around me…
Você é minha razão…
You are my reason…
de viver…
to live…
O motivo…
The reason…
que me faz sorrir…
that makes me smile…
Você é muito mais…
You are much more…
do que eu sonhei…
than I dreamed of…
[Background Vocals]
(Ooh…)
(Mmm… Yeah…)
[Verse 2 – Groove Drops Slightly, Intimate Vocal]
Tem algo em você…
There's something about you…
que transforma os meus dias…
that transforms my days…
E faz tudo parecer…
And makes everything seem…
mais leve…
lighter…
Quando o mundo pesa sobre mim…
When the world weighs on me…
é nos seus braços…
it's in your arms…
que eu encontro paz…
that I find peace…
E já não faz sentido…
And it no longer makes sense…
fugir desse amor…
to run from this love…

pra me fazer feliz…
to make me happy…

Você é minha razão…
You are my reason…
de viver…
to live…
O motivo…
