Minha Namorada
Vinicius de Moraes
My Girlfriend
If you want to be my girlfriend
Ah, what a lovely girlfriend
You could be
If you want to be only mine
Exactly this little thing
All mine
That no one else can be
You have to make me a vow
To have only one thought
To be only mine until death
And also not to lose that way
Of speaking softly
Those stories about you
And suddenly caress me a lot
And cry very softly
Without anyone knowing why
However, if more than my girlfriend
You want to be my beloved
My beloved, truly beloved
The one loved by destiny
Without whom life is nothing
Without whom one wants to die
You have to come with me on my path
And maybe my path is sad for you
Your eyes have to be only for my eyes
Your arms my nest
In the silence afterwards
And you have to be the ultimate star
My friend and companion
In the infinity of us two
