Por toda a minha vida
Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes

Minha bem-amada
Quero fazer-te um juramento uma canção
Eu prometo, por toda a minha vida
Ser somente teu e amar-te como nunca
Ninguém jamais amou, ninguém

Minha bem-amada
Estrela pura aparecida
Eu te amo e te proclamo
O meu amor
O meu amor
Maior que tudo quanto existe
Oh, meu amor

For All My Life
(English adaptation by Paul Sonnenberg)

Oh, my dearest love
Here in this song I bring to you a solemn vow
Yes, I promise, for all my life, believe me,
I'll be yours alone, and love you as no other
Has ever, ever loved before

Oh, my love, believe me
As night's pure star now shines before me
I proclaim it:
How I adore you
My heart is yours
My life is yours
How much love has 'til now existed?
I love you more
