Me Ame Com Ternura
Me ame com ternura,
Me ame com doçura,
Nunca me deixe partir.
Você tornou minha vida completa,
E eu te amo tanto.
Me ame com ternura,
Me ame de verdade.
Todos os meus sonhos realizados,
Porque, meu amor, eu amo você,
E eu sempre amarei.
Me ame com ternura,
Me ame por muito tempo.
Leve-me ao seu coração,
Pois é lá que eu pertenço.
E nós nunca nos separaremos.
Me ame com ternura,
Me ame, querida.
Diga-me que você é minha,
Eu serei seu durante todos os anos,
Até o final dos tempos.
