Quando te der saudade de mim
When you miss me
Quando tua garganta apertar
When your throat tightens
Basta dar um suspiro que eu vou ligeiro te consolar
Just take a sigh and I'll comfort you soon
Se o teu vigia se alvoroçar
If your watchman gets upset
E estrada afora te conduzir
And lead you down the road
Basta soprar meu nome com teu perfume pra me atrair
Just blow my name with your perfume to attract me
Se as tuas noites não têm mais fim
If your nights never end
Se um desalmado te faz chorar
If a soulless person makes you cry
Deixa cair um lenço que eu te alcanço em qualquer lugar
Drop a tissue and I'll reach you anywhere
Quando teu coração suplicar
When your heart pleads
Ou quando teu capricho exigir
Or when your whim demands
Largo mulher e filhos e de joelhos vou te seguir
I leave my wife and children and on my knees I will follow you
Na nossa casa
In our house
Serás rainha
You will be queen
Serás cruel, talvez
You will be cruel, perhaps
Vais fazer manha
You're going to be in the morning
Me aperrear
squeeze me
E eu, sempre mais feliz
And I'm always happier
Silentemente
Silently
Vou te deitar
I'll lay you down
Na cama que arrumei
In the bed I made
Pisando em plumas toda manhã
Stepping on feathers every morning
Eu te despertarei
I will wake you up
Quando te der saudade de mim
When you miss me
Quando tua garganta apertar
When your throat tightens
Basta dar um suspiro que eu vou ligeiro te consolar
Just take a sigh and I'll comfort you soon
Se o teu vigia se alvoroçar
If your watchman gets upset
E estrada afora te conduzir
And lead you down the road
Basta soprar meu nome com teu perfume pra me atrair
Just blow my name with your perfume to attract me
Entre suspiros pode outro nome
Between sighs can another name
Dos lábios te escapar
From your lips escape you
Terei ciúme até de mim
I'll be jealous even of myself
No espelho a te abraçar
In the mirror hugging you
Mas teu amante sempre serei
But your lover I will always be
Mais do que hoje sou
More than I am today
Ou estas rimas não escrevi
Or these rhymes I didn't write
Nem ninguém nunca amou
No one has ever loved
Se as tuas noites não têm mais fim
If your nights never end
Se um desalmado te faz chorar
If a soulless person makes you cry
Deixa cair um lenço que eu te alcanço
Drop a tissue and I'll reach you
Em qualquer lugar
Anywhere
E quando o nosso tempo passar
And when our time passes
Quando eu não estiver mais aqui
When I'm no longer here
Lembra-te, minha nega desta cantiga
Remember, my deny this song
Que fiz pra ti
What I did for you
