Um dia ele chegou tão diferente
One day he arrived so different
Do seu jeito de sempre chegar
Your way of always arriving
Olhou-a de um jeito muito mais quente
He looked at her in a much warmer way
Do que sempre costumava olhar
Than I always used to look
E não maldisse a vida
And don't curse life
Tanto quanto era seu jeito de sempre falar
As much as the way you always spoke
E nem deixou-a só num canto
And he didn't even leave her alone in a corner
Pra seu grande espanto convidou-a pra rodar
To her great surprise, he invited her to ride
Então, ela se fez bonita
So she made herself beautiful
Como há muito tempo não queria ousar
Since I haven't wanted to dare for a long time
Com seu vestido decotado
With your low-cut dress
Cheirando a guardado de tanto esperar
Smelling stored from waiting so long
Depois o dois deram-se os braços
Then the two linked arms
Como há muito tempo não se usava dar
As it had been a long time since giving was used
E cheios de ternura e graça
And full of tenderness and grace
Foram para a praça e começaram a se abraçar
They went to the square and started hugging each other
E ali dançaram tanta dança
And there they danced so much dance
Que a vizinhança toda despertou
That the whole neighborhood woke up
E foi tanta felicidade
And it was so happy
Que toda cidade se iluminou
That the whole city lit up
E foram tantos beijos loucos
And there were so many crazy kisses
Tantos gritos roucos como não se ouvia mais
So many hoarse screams that you couldn't hear anymore
Que o mundo compreendeu
That the world understood
E o dia amanheceu em paz
And the day dawned peacefully
