Eternamente eu vou te amar
Eterna essa paixão
Que explode em emoção
Mas quem ficou
Na mira do seu coração eu vou
Na vida tenho a intenção
Que é amar

Eternamente eu vou te amar
Eterna essa paixão
Que explode em emoção

Me fez juras de amor
Mas só quer ser meu amigo

Se é o avesso da dor

E se depender de mim faço tudo
Os anéis de Saturno vou roubar para você
Se depender de mim reviro o mundo
Por esse amor sincero que é tudo o que eu mais quero
Vem pra mim

Eu vou pegar meu bem o trem do amor
A minha vida sem você já não tem graça
Eu vou levar você também eu vou
Não tem saída desse amor você não escapa
