Português
Um dia ele chegou tão diferente
Do seu jeito de sempre chegar
Olhou-a dum jeito muito mais quente
Do que sempre costumava olhar
E não maldisse a vida tanto quanto
Era seu jeito de sempre falar
E nem deixou-a só num canto,
Pra seu grande espanto
convidou-a pra rodar
Então ela se fez bonita
como há muito tempo não queria ousar
Com seu vestido decotado
cheirando a guardado de tanto esperar
Depois os dois deram-se os braços
como há muito tempo não se usava dar
E cheios de ternura e graça
foram para a praça
E começaram a se abraçar
E ali dançaram tanta dança
que a vizinhança toda despertou
E foi tanta felicidade
que toda a cidade se iluminou
E foram tantos beijos loucos
Tantos gritos roucos
como não se ouvia mais
Que o mundo compreendeu
E o dia amanheceu
Em paz
English
One day he arrived so differently
from the way he always did
Looked at her much more warmly
than the way he always used to look
And did not curse his life
as he always used to do
And did not leave her aside
But to her great surprise
he invited her to go out
So she made herself beautiful
As she didn't dare to do for a long time
With her low-cut dress
Smelling of the closet after waiting so long
Then they gave each other an arm
As they hadn't done for a long time
And full of tenderness and grace
They went to the square
and started to embrace each other
And there they danced so many dances
That the whole neighborhood awakened
And there was so much happiness
That the whole town lighted up
And there were so many crazy kisses
So many hoarse screams
as it wasn't be heard anymore
So the world understood
And the day dawned
in peace.
Nederlands
Op een dag kwam hij thuis zo anders
dan hij normaal altijd deed
Hij bekeek haar zoveel warmer
dan hij haar normaal altijd bekeek
En verwenste zijn leven niet zo als
hij gewoonlijk placht te doen
En liet haar niet links liggen
Maar tot haar grote verrassing
nodigde hij haar uit om uit te gaan
Dus zij maakte zichzelf mooi
zoals ze lange tijd niet had gedurfd
Met haar diep uitgesneden jurk
die van het lange wachten naar de kast rook
Toen gaven zij elkaar een arm
zoals zij lang niet meer hadden gedaan
En vol tederheid en gratie
gingen zij naar het plein
En begonnen zij elkaar te omhelzen
En daar dansten zij zoveel dansjes
dat dit de hele buurt deed ontwaken
En er was zoveel geluk
dat de hele stad oplichtte
En er waren zoveel uitzinnige kussen
Zoveel schorre kreten
zoals die niet meer werden gehoord
Zodat de wereld het begreep
En de dag gloorde
in vrede
