Ela diz que eu fui caso muito sério
Mas eu só sei que há algo nisso de anormal
Havia un tempo, um olhar, um sorrir, um començo
Mas agora tudo perdeu seu brilho

Na minha vida só houve um abraço como o teu
Um sonho, um livro, uma aventura sem igual
Linda, linda, esta balada que te dou
Linda, linda, esta balada que te dou

Podem até pensar que eu sou um pouco triste
Mas não há nenhum mal em ser assim
Pois tudo fica mesmo quando se acaba
Um romance, uma paixão ou um caminho

Na minha vida só houve um abraço como o teu
Um sonho, um livro, uma aventura sem igual
Linda, linda, esta balada que te dou
Linda, linda, esta balada que te dou

Quis escrever a mais bela canção que há no mundo
Olhando para trás p'ra nos ver
Foi quando ouvi uma voz cantando baixinho
Esta balada que vinha de longe

Na minha vida só houve um abraço como o teu
Um sonho, um livro, uma aventura sem igual

Na minha vida só houve um abraço como o teu
Um sonho, um livro, uma aventura sem igual
Linda, linda, esta balada que te dou
Linda, linda, esta balada que te dou[1]

She says I was a very serious case
But only I know that there's something abnormal to that
There was a time, a look, a smile, a beginning
But now everything has lost its glow

In my life there was only one hug like yours
A dream, a book, an adventure without equal
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you

You might even think that I'm a bit sad
But there's nothing wrong with being this way
For when everything is over
A romance, a passionate amour or a way

In my life there was only one hug like yours
A dream, a book, an adventure without equal
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you

I wanted to write the most beautiful song in the world
Looking back to see ourselves
It was when I heard a bass voice singing
This ballad which came from far away

In my life there was only one hug like yours
A dream, a book, an adventure without equal

In my life there was only one hug like yours
A dream, a book, an adventure without equal
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you
It's pretty, pretty, this ballad that I give you
