Carinhoso Lyrics in English Elis Regina
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carinhoso by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
Meu coração
My heart
Não sei por que
I don't know why
Bate feliz
Beats happily
Quando te vê
When it sees you
E os meus olhos ficam sorrindo
And my eyes start smiling
E pelas ruas vão te seguindo
And through the streets they follow you
Mas mesmo assim foges de mim
But even so, you run from me
Ah, se tu soubesses como eu sou tão carinhoso
Ah, if you knew how very affectionate I am
E o muito, muito que te quero
And how very much I want you
E como é sincero o meu amor
And how sincere my love is
Eu sei que tu não fugirias mais de mim
I know you wouldn't run from me anymore
Vem, vem, vem, vem
Come, come, come, come
Vem sentir o calor
Come feel the warmth
Dos lábios meus
Of my lips
A procura dos teus
Searching for yours
Vem matar esta paixão
Come satisfy this passion
Que me devora o coração
That devours my heart
E só assim então serei feliz, bem feliz
And only then will I be happy, very happy
