Lyrics[]

O céu às vezes foge
Procura outro lugar
Onde o Sol não cabe
E a Lua não quer ficar

De mar em mar, hey
Ver e vencer, hey
Amar, amar
Sempre, sempre, anyway
De mar em mar, hey
Ver e vencer, hey
Amar, amar
Always, day by day

Só quem não quer amar
Olha sem ver

Happy pretty way, happy shiny day
Happy place to stay, we can hold it together
Happy pretty way, happy shiny day
Happy place to stay, we can hold it forever

Pretty people shining, a pretty place to stay
Brand new kind of face, I love you anyway
Fight for the love that I miss, ask me to stay

Happy pretty way, happy shiny day
Happy place to stay, we can hold it together
Happy pretty way, happy shiny day
Happy place to stay, we can hold it forever

Happy pretty way, very shiny day
Happy place to stay, we can hold it together
Happy pretty way, happy shiny day
Happy place to stay, we can hold it forever

De mar em mar
Ver e vencer
Amar, amar
Ask me to stay
Amar

(Happy pretty way, happy shiny day)
(Happy place to stay, we can hold it together)
(Happy pretty way, happy shiny day)
(Happy place to stay, we can hold it forever)

Pretty way, happy, happy shiny day
A brand new day, happy, happy place to stay
Pretty way, happy, happy shiny day
A brand new day, happy, happy place to stay^[1]

Sometimes the sky runs away
To look for another way
Where the sun doesn't fit in
And the moon doesn't want to stay

From sea to sea, hey
To see and conquer, hey
To love, to love
Always, always, anyway
From sea to sea, hey
To see and conquer, hey
To love, to love

Only those who don't want to love
Look without seeing

Brand new kind of face, I love you anyway

From sea to sea
To see and conquer
To love, to love
Ask me to stay
To love
