Só chamei porque te amo [English translation]

It isn't Christmas

Neither New Year

Neither a sign from the Heavens

No Armageddon

No special day

No ET playing here

In my yard1

Nothing more

Nothing bad

No one with me

Besides the loneliness

Not even a verse that's original

To tell you

And to begin a song

Chorus:

I just called because I love you

I just called because

The passion is great

I just called because I love you

[Here] very deep

Deep in my heart

Neither Carnaval

Neither St. John['s Day]

No balloon in the sky

Not even moonlight in the wild

No photo in the journal

No note on the social column

No mummy moved

No miracle of science

Happened

No motive or reason

When longings arrive

There's no explanation

(Chorus)

I just called

To say I love you

I just called

To say how much I care

I just called

To say I love you

And I mean it

From the bottom

Of my heart

I just called because I love you

I just called

Because the passion is great

I just called

Because I love you

[Here] very deep

Deep

In my heart
