O Amor Bateu à Porta
Calema
Love Knocked on the Door
So shallow and at the same time so deep
It suffocates and at the same time makes you fly
On the day love knocks on your door
My mother said: You will cry
You will discover that it's possible to hold
The whole universe in your hands
And finally understand my gaze
And when you smile, you will cry
And I cried
When I held you in my arms and felt
That my life began there
I can't tell you in words
It's so much love
For a being that doesn't know how to defend itself
But with the power to soften
The stone I had in my chest
Just with a look
Someone help me, teach me
How can I deal with so much love?
Someone help me, teach me
Mom, now I understand what love is
And I cried
When I held you in my arms and felt
That my life began there
I can't tell you in words
It's so much love
For a being that doesn't know how to defend itself
But with the power to soften
The stone I had in my chest
Just with a look
Someone help me, teach me
How can I deal with so much love?
Someone help me, teach me
Mom, now I understand what love is
And I cried
When I held you in my arms and felt
That my life began there
I can't tell you in words (what I felt)
It's so much love
For a being that doesn't know how to defend itself
But with the power to soften
The stone I had in my chest
Just with a look
Someone help me, teach me
How can I deal with so much love?
Someone help me, teach me
Mom, now I understand what love is.
