Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ilegais by Vanessa da Mata from Portuguese to English.
Desse jeito vão saber de nós dois
This way they will know about both of us
Dessa nossa vida
Of this life of ours
E será uma maldade veloz
And it will be swift evil
Malignas línguas
Evil tongues
Nossos corpos não conseguem ter paz
Our bodies can't have peace
Em uma distância
In a distance
Nossos olhos são dengosos demais
Our eyes are too shy
Que não se consolam, clamam fugazes
Who are not consoled, they cry out fleetingly
Olhos que se entregam
Eyes that give in
Eu só sei que eu quero você
I just know that I want you
Pertinho de mim
Close to me
Dentro de mim
Inside of me
Em cima de mim
On top of me
Desse jeito vão saber de nós dois
This way they will know about both of us
Dessa nossa farra
From our party
E será uma maldade voraz
And it will be a voracious evil
Pura hipocrisia
Pure hypocrisy
Nossos corpos não conseguem ter paz
Our bodies can't have peace
Nessa aventura
In this adventure
Nossos olhos são dengosos demais
Our eyes are too shy
Que não se consolam, clamam fugazes
Who are not consoled, they cry out fleetingly
Olhos que se entregam
Eyes that give in
Olhos ilegais
Illegal eyes
Eu só sei que eu quero você
I just know that I want you
Pertinho de mim
Close to me
Dentro de mim
Inside of me
Em cima de mim
On top of me
