Translation of the song lyrics O Que Tinha de Ser - Sylvia Telles

O Que Tinha de Ser (original)

Porque foste na vida
A última esperança
Encontrar-te me fez criança
Porque já eras meu
Sem eu saber sequer
Porque és o meu homem
E eu tua mulher
Porque tu me chegaste
Sem me dizer que vinhas
E tuas mãos foram minhas com calma
Porque foste em minh’alma
Como um amanhecer
Porque foste o que tinha de ser

O Que Tinha de Ser (translation)

Why were you in life
The last hope
Finding you made me a child
because you were already mine
Without me even knowing
Because you are my man
And I your wife
Because you came to me
Without telling me you were coming
And your hands were mine calmly
Because you were in my soul
like a dawn
Because you were what had to be
