A million stars are in the sky
A million sleeping in the bay
A million feelings have I
To put away another day

Tetê, I wait to see your face
Tetê, and yet, it's every place
Tetê, at night, my pillowcase
Knows all my dreams
But you'll never know
Sad, but it's so

Tetê, I tremble when we kiss
Tetê, what painful joy is this
Tetê, how can you share this bliss
With me, Tetê?
When I look secretly
From my window to see you pass by

To see you pass by, Tetê!
Tetê! Tetê!

But you'll never know
Sad, but it's so

Tetê, I tremble when we kiss
Tetê, what painful joy is this?
Tetê, how can you share this bliss
With me, Tetê?
When I look secretly
From my window to see you pass by
