Nos teus lábios
Sinto os beijos que às vezes roubei
Vem de novo a saudade em meu peito apertar
E por isso eu canto
Os teus olhos
Dos teus lábios
Beijos mil me fazem lembrar
Desde então não sonho e nem vivo
Porque, amor, só posso encontrar nos teus lábios
E os teus olhos quero olhar
Sim, teus olhos quero olhar
