Se sou tinta tu és tela
Se sou chuva és aguarela
Se sou sal és branca areia
Se sou mar és maré-cheia
Se sou céu és nuvem nele
Se sou estrela és de encantar
Se sou noite és luz para ela
Se sou dia és o luar
Sou a voz do coração
Numa carta aberta ao mundo
Sou o espelho d’emoção
Do teu olhar
Profundo
Sou um todo
Num instante
Corpo dado
Em jeito amante
Sou o tempo que não passa
Quando a saudade
Me abraça
Beija o mar o vento e a lua
Sou um sol
Em neve nua em todas as ruas
Do amor
Serás meu e eu serei tua
Se sou tinta tu és tela
Se sou chuva És aguarela
Se sou sal És branca areia
Se sou mar és maré cheia
Se sou céu és nuvem nele
Se sou estrela és de encantar
Se sou noite és luz para ela
Se sou dia és o luar
Beija o mar o vento e a lua
Sou um sol em neve nua
Em todas as ruas
Do amor
Serás meu e eu serei tua
English Translation
All The Streets Of Love
If I were paint, you would be canvas
If I were rain, you would be aquarelle
If I were salt, you would be white sand
If I were sea, you would be high tide
If I were the sky, you would be a cloud in it
If I were a star, you would be its shine
If I were night, you would be its light
If I were daylight, you would be the moonlight
I’m the voice of the heart
I’m an open letter to the world
I’m the mirror of emotion
Of your deep look.
I’m complete
In a second
I give my body
Like a lover
I’m the time that doesn’t pass
When the lonely feeling
gets a hold on me
Kiss the sea, the wind and the moon.
I’m a sun
in naked snow. In all the streets
of love
You’ll be mine and I’ll be yours.
If I were paint, you would be canvas
If I were rain, you would be aquarelle
If I were salt, you would be white sand
If I were sea, you would be high tide
If I were the sky, you would be a cloud in it
If I were a star, you would be its shine
If I were night, you would be its light
If I were daylight, you would be the moonlight
Kiss the sea, the wind and the moon.
I’m a sun
in naked snow. In all the streets
of love
You’ll be mine and I’ll be yours.
