Canção De Engate Lyrics in English Tiago Bettencourt

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Canção De Engate by Tiago Bettencourt from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
You're free and I'm free
And there's a night to spend
Why don't we go together
Why don't we stay
In the adventure of the senses?
You're alone and I'm lonelier
You who hold my gaze
You hold my open hand
Waiting to close
In that empty hand of yours!
Come, 'cause love isn't time
Nor is it time that makes it
Come, 'cause love is the moment
When I give myself, when you give yourself
Come, 'cause love isn't time
Nor is it time that makes it
Come, 'cause love is the moment
When I give myself, when you give yourself
Verse 2
You who look for company
And I who look for whoever wants
To be the end of this energy
To be the body of pleasure
To be the end of one more day
You keep on waiting
For the best that won't come
And hope was found
Before you by someone
And I'm better than nothing!
Come, 'cause love isn't time
Nor is it time that makes it
Come, 'cause love is the moment
When I give myself, when you give yourself
Come, 'cause love isn't time
Nor is it time that makes it
Come, 'cause love is the moment
When I give myself, when you give yourself
Come, 'cause love isn't time
Nor is it time that makes it
Come, 'cause love is the moment
When I give myself, when you give yourself
Come, 'cause love isn't time
Nor is it time that makes it
Come, 'cause love is the moment
When I give myself, when you give yourself
Outro
In which you give yourself
In which you give yourself
In which you give yourself

SONG MEANING

Imagine two strangers meeting under the city lights, both free, both lonely, and both determined to squeeze every drop of magic out of the night. Canção de Engate is Tiago Bettencourt’s playful invitation to forget tomorrow, lock hands, and dive head-first into an adventure of the senses. The singer reassures his would-be partner that there is nothing to lose: he might not be the dream that never came, but he is certainly “better than nothing,” and tonight could turn “nothing” into everything.

At its heart, the song shouts a simple motto: “Love is not time; love is the moment.” Instead of measuring relationships in days, months, or years, Bettencourt celebrates the spark that happens right now — the instant you choose to give yourself and receive someone else. With its catchy refrain and romantic urgency, this track is a vibrant reminder to live boldly, love quickly, and let the night decide the rest.
