A Noite ao Contrário [English translation]

I touch your skin, it is like silk

Trace it lovingly, without urgency, like a garden

Drinking your fragrance like a rare wine

I see you dancing, and your movements

awaken these thoughts in me,

some which I dare not confess and others which I dare not declare

I will only say

That when I see you dance

The night around us

seems to be

bigger

Dance for me

Seeing you dance

I am left imagining

somewhere else

Some other place

where you and I

can turn

the night inside out

Turn the world upside down

In it I want to be with you

Let love in

Oh, oh, into this place

You move your body like a serpent

With an elegance that is almost insolent

With a swing that is almost sin

That when I see you dance

The night around us

seems to be

bigger

Dance for me

Seeing you dance

I am left imagining

somewhere else

Some other place

where you and I

can turn

the night inside out

Turn the world upside down

In it I want to be with you

Let love in

Oh, oh, into this place
