Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Samba De Verao by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Você viu só que amor
You saw what love looks like
Nunca vi coisa assim
I've never seen anything like it
E passou, nem parou
And it passed, didn't even stop
Mas olhou só pra mim
But it looked only at me
Se voltar vou atrás
If it comes back I'll chase it
Vou pedir, vou falar
I'll ask, I'll speak up
Vou dizer que o amor
I'll say that love
Foi feitinho pra dar
Was made for giving
Olha, é como o verão
Look, it's like summer
Quente o coração
Heart's warm
Salta de repente
It jumps suddenly
Para ver a menina que vem
To watch the girl who comes
Ela vem sempre tem
She comes, always has
Esse mar no olhar
That sea in her gaze
E vai ver, tem que ser
You'll see, it's gotta be
Nunca tem quem amar
Never has somebody to love
Hoje sim diz que sim
Today she says yes
Já cansei de esperar
I'm tired of waiting
Nem parei nem dormi
I didn't stop or sleep
Só pensando em me dar
Just thinking of giving myself
Peço, mas você não vem
I beg, but you don't come
Deixo então, falo só
So I let it be, talk alone
Digo ao céu, mas você vem
I tell the sky, yet you come
Você viu só que amor
You saw what love looks like
Nunca vi coisa assim
I've never seen anything like it
E passou, nem parou
And it passed, didn't even stop
Mas olhou só pra mim
But it looked only at me
Se voltar vou atrás
If it comes back I'll chase it
Vou pedir, vou falar
I'll ask, I'll speak up
Vou dizer que o amor
I'll say that love
Foi feitinho pra dar
Was made for giving
Olha, é como o verão
Look, it's like summer
Quente o coração
Heart's warm
Salta de repente
It jumps suddenly
Para ver a menina que vem
To watch the girl who comes
Ela vem sempre tem
She comes, always has
Esse mar no olhar
That sea in her gaze
E vai ver, tem que ser
You'll see, it's gotta be
Nunca tem quem amar
Never has somebody to love
Hoje sim diz que sim
Today she says yes
Já cansei de esperar
I'm tired of waiting
Nem parei nem dormi
I didn't stop or sleep
Só pensando em me dar
Just thinking of giving myself
Peço, mas você não vem
I beg, but you don't come
Deixo então, falo só
So I let it be, talk alone
Digo ao céu, mas você vem
I tell the sky, yet you come
