Carta De Amor Lyrics in English Paulo Sousa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carta De Amor by Paulo Sousa from Portuguese to English.
You know there's so much I could say
To talk to you about what we are and what we can be
But today I'll show you, make you understand
What I can give you
Let me write you a love letter
Show you how a kiss is a copyright
Leave you speechless because you feel the worth
Of what I can give you
I can't deny
How to deny?
You're the recipient
Of this love I send
Filling the void
Of not being able to be there
Just the necessary
I send to the address I know by heart
In this love letter!
In this love letter!
I'll stick the stamp on your heart
I want to see it so much and have the sensation again
Wait for me in a dream because for any reason
That's where I'll be
I can't deny
How to deny?
You're the recipient
Of this love I send
Filling the void
Of not being able to be there
Just the necessary
I send to the address I know by heart
In this love letter!
In this love letter!
Whether in the letter or in destiny
I know you'll come to me
'With love, I bid you farewell!'
Let me write you a love letter
Show you how a kiss is a copyright
You're the recipient
Of this love I send
Filling the void
Of not being able to be there
Just the necessary
I send to the address I know by heart
In this love letter!
You're the recipient
Of this love I send
Filling the void
Of not being able to be there
Just the necessary
I send to the address I know by heart
In this love letter!
In this love letter!

SONG MEANING

Carta de Amor is Paulo Sousa’s melodic love note sent straight from Portugal to the heart of someone he misses. Instead of getting lost in elaborate declarations, the singer keeps it simple and sincere: he wants to write a letter of love, seal it with a kiss that only they can claim, and fill the empty space created by distance with music, dreams and affection. Each line reassures the listener that they are the sole destinatário (addressee) of these feelings, making the song feel like a private message delivered through lively pop rhythms.

The letter is more than paper; it is a metaphor for connection. Paulo imagines “sticking the stamp on your heart,” promising that, even when miles apart, love will reach its destination—whether through the postal service, a dream or destiny itself. Upbeat and hopeful, the track reminds us that true affection does not need grand gestures; a few honest words and a catchy melody are enough to make someone feel cherished across any distance.
