Right in the morning
Right when I wake up
I miss my Tano
Missing you will kill me
Right in the morning
Right when I wake up
I miss my Ionara
I go crazy crying
And when night comes I wait for your gaze
I feel your presence, you make me believe
Oh I like you, and I like you
God knows it's true, and I like you
Oh I like you, God knows it's true and I like you
Oh I like you, God knows it's true
Right in the morning
Right when I wake up
I miss my dad, missing him will kill me
Right in the morning
Right when I wake up
I miss my Ionara
I go crazy crying
And when night comes I wait for your gaze
I feel your presence, you make me believe
Oh I like you, oh I like you
God knows it's true, and I like you
Oh I like you, God knows it's true and I like you
Oh I like you, God knows it's true
Oh I like you, oh I like you
God knows it's true, and I like you
Oh I like you, God knows it's true and I like you
Oh I like you, God knows it's true
This song I wrote
I was improvising
It's not for everybody
But I thank anyone who'll like it

SONG MEANING

Gosto De Ti wraps listeners in the uniquely Portuguese feeling of saudade—that bittersweet mix of love, longing, and nostalgia. From the moment the singer opens his eyes in the morning, he aches for the people who shape his world: his father, his child Tano, and, above all, Ionara. Every sunrise brings a fresh wave of yearning, every nightfall becomes a quiet vigil as he waits for their gaze and clings to the comforting sense of their presence. The chorus repeats like a tender mantra, “Ai, eu gosto de ti” (“I love you”), reinforcing that his affection is pure, constant, and so genuine that even God can testify to it.

The final verse reveals the song’s spontaneous heart. Nininho admits he “was improvising,” offering this melody not as a polished pop product but as a raw, personal confession. It may not be “for everyone,” yet anyone who has ever missed someone deeply will recognize its truth. Backed by Cristiano Maia’s smooth collaboration, the track turns simple words into an anthem of everyday devotion—a reminder that real love is felt at dawn, echoed at dusk, and sung from the soul.
