Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gosto De Ti by Paulo Sousa from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Porque eu amo os teus detalhes
Because I love your details
Juntos soam a retalhos
Together they sound like patches
Que curam cá dentro
That heal inside
Do que foi mas já não é
Of what was but is no longer
Que teima em bater o pé!
How stubborn about putting your foot down!
Já sei que tudo sara quando dizes
I already know that everything heals when you say
Sempre ouvi dizer
I always heard
Que só soa bem em inglês
That only sounds good in English
Mas haverá coisa melhor
But there will be something better
Que dizer que te amo
What to say that I love you
Em português
In Portuguese
Que dizer que te amo
What to say that I love you
Verse 2
Só sei que quando estou contigo
I just know that when I'm with you
Tudo é nosso e faz sentido
Everything is ours and it makes sense
Fica só mais uma hora
It's just one more hour
Nada nos espera lá fora
Nothing waits for us outside
E eu só quero o teu abraço
And I just want your hug
Que entre nós não haja espaço
That between us there is no space
Já sei, tudo pára quando digo
I know, everything stops when I say
Sempre ouvi dizer
I always heard
Que só soa bem em inglês
That only sounds good in English
Mas haverá coisa melhor
But there will be something better
Que dizer que te amo
What to say that I love you
Em português
In Portuguese
Que dizer que te amo
What to say that I love you
Dizer que te amo
To say that I love you
Dizer que te amo em português
Say I love you in Portuguese
