| Um dia ele chegou tão diferente do seu jeito de sempre chegar
| One day he arrived so different from his way of always arriving
|
| Olhou-a dum jeito muito mais quente do que sempre costumava olhar
| He looked at her much warmer than he ever used to.
|
| E nao maldisse a vida tanto quanto era seu jeito de sempre falar
| And he didn't curse life as much as his way of always talking
|
| E nem deixou-a só num canto, pra seu grande espanto convidou-a pra roda
| And he didn't even leave her alone in a corner, to her great astonishment he invited her to the circle
|
| Então ela se fez bonita com ha muito tempo nao queria ousar
| So she made herself beautiful for a long time, she didn't want to dare
|
| Com seu vestido decotado cheirando a guardado de tanto esperar
| With her low-cut dress smelling of being kept from waiting so long
|
| Depois o dois deram-se os braços com ha muito tempo nao se usava dar
| Then the two joined arms with it had not been used for a long time
|
| E cheios de ternura e graça foram para a praça e começaram a se abraçar
| And full of tenderness and grace, they went to the square and began to hug each other
|
| E ali dançaram tanta dança que a vizinhança toda despertou
| And there they danced so much that the whole neighborhood woke up
|
| E foi tanta felicidade que toda cidade enfim se iluminou
| And it was so much happiness that the whole city finally lit up
|
| E foram tantos beijos loucos
| And there were so many crazy kisses
|
| Tantos gritos roucos como nao se ouvia mais
| So many hoarse screams as it was not heard anymore
|
| Que o mundo compreendeu
| That the world understood
|
| E o dia amanheceu
| And the day dawned
|
| Em paz | In peace |
