These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Vivia a te buscar
I lived looking for you
Porque pensando em ti
Because thinking about you
Corria contra o tempo
Race against time
Eu descartava os dias
I discarded the days
Em que não te vi
When I didn't see you
Como de um filme
Like from a movie
A ação que não valeu
The action that didn't count
Rodava as horas pra trás
Turned the hours backwards
Roubava um pouquinho
I stole a little
E ajeitava o meu caminho
And I fixed my path
Pra encostar no teu
To touch yours
Subia na montanha
Climbed up the mountain
Não como anda um corpo
Not how a body walks
Mas um sentimento
But a feeling
Eu surpreendia o sol
I surprised the sun
Antes do sol raiar
Before the sun rises
Saltava as noites
I skipped the nights
Sem me refazer
Without remaking myself
E pela porta de trás
And through the back door
Da casa vazia
From the empty house
Eu ingressaria
I would join
E te veria
And I would see you
Confusa por me ver
Confused to see me
Chegando assim
Arriving like this
Mil dias antes de te conhecer
A thousand days before I met you
