Ainda bem que agora encontrei voceIt’s a good thing I’ve found you now,
Eu realmente nao seiI really don’t know
O que eu fiz pra merecer vocewhat I did to deserve you,
Porque ninguem dava nada por mimbecause nobody would have bet on me.
Quem dava eu nao tava a fimI wasn’t interested in those who did,
Ate desacreditei de mimI’d even stopped believing in myself.
O meu coracaoMy heart
Ja estava acostumadowas already accustomed
Com a solidaoto loneliness.
Quem diria que a meu ladoWho would have said that by my side
Voce iria ficaryou were going to stay?
Voce veio pra ficarYou came here to stay.
Voce que me faz felizYou’re the one who makes me happy,
Voce que me faz cantaryou’re the one who makes me sing
Assimjust like this.
O meu coracaoMy heart

Sem nenhuma ilusaowithout any illusions left.
Tinha sido maltratadoIt had been mistreated,
Tudo se transformoubut everything has transformed.
