The city wakes up before sunrise
Four in the morning, we mess up the sheets
I forget five, five I have to be up
For a few minutes I just want to be your woman
To kiss you slowly and intertwine your hair
I feel that in your arms I never felt fear again
The feeling that beats in my chest, I feel it's so deep
Take my hand and let's face the world

I don't want the rush to steal you from me
That we find time for some affection
That our relationship reminds us of poetry
That if we cry, let it be for one day
That all the rest be tears of joy

We are not just struggle, we are also laughter
We are also dance in the living room
In the skin, in the soul, in the touch, in the affection
Black people also love
Black people also know how to love

I know that time is running against us
That tiredness weighs on the body and mind
I swear that today I will do things differently
How many times have I seen you only as a refuge
That in difficulty we ran to each other
But in your eyes, I remember
That love is Porto
It's a place to return to after a tiring day
To share the pains and joys with you
To forget the bills and remember only the smiles

In the midst of everything, I find you and breathe
The caress of your body, my embrace is your shelter
Your embrace reminds me that calm still exists
That it's possible to surrender body and soul
Even when the world weighs us down, we hold on
Black people also love, despite everything

We are not just struggle, we are also laughter
We are also dance in the living room
In the skin, in the soul, in the touch, in the affection
Black people also love
Black people also know how to love
