Gosto De Ti Lyrics in English Nininho Vaz Maia , Cristiano Maia

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gosto De Ti by Nininho Vaz Maia from Portuguese to English.
Right in the morning
Right when I wake up
I miss my Tano
Missing you's gonna kill me
Right in the morning
Right when I wake up
I miss my Ionara
I go crazy crying
And night comes
I wait for your gaze
I feel your presence, you make me believe
Oh, I love you, yeah I love you
God knows it's true, and I love you
Oh, I love you
God knows it's true
And I love you, oh, I love you
God, it's true
Right in the morning
Right when I wake up
I miss my dad
Missing you's gonna kill me
Right in the morning
Right when I wake up
I miss my Ionara
I go crazy crying
And night comes, I wait for your gaze
I feel your presence
You make me believe
Oh, I love you
Oh, I love you
God knows it's true
And I love you
Oh, I love you
God knows it's true
And I love you, oh, I love you
God knows it's true
Oh, I love you
Oh, I love you
God knows it's true
And I love you
Oh, I love you
God knows it's true
And I love you, oh, I love you
God knows it's true
This song I made, I was improvising
It's not for everybody
But I thank whoever's gonna like it

SONG MEANING

Gosto De Ti is a heartfelt confession of saudade—that uniquely Portuguese mix of longing, love, and gentle sorrow. From the very first morning light, the singer feels an overwhelming ache for the people he treasures most: his partner Ionara, his father, even a friend nicknamed Tano. Throughout the day he waits, hopes, and almost breaks down, but when night falls he clings to the memory of their gaze, certain that their presence still surrounds him and keeps his faith alive.

The chorus circles back like a comforting mantra: "Ai, eu gosto de ti" (Oh, I like you), a simple phrase that carries enormous emotional weight. By repeating it, Nininho Vaz Maia and Cristiano Maia turn a private feeling into a communal anthem, inviting listeners to celebrate their own deep connections. The song ends with a humble note—an improvised tune not meant for everyone, yet offered gratefully to anyone willing to feel its honest pulse. It is a reminder that love and longing often arrive together, but sharing them through music can lighten the heaviest hearts.
