The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Eu não sabia explicar nós dois
Ela mais eu
Porque eu e ela
Não conhecia poemas
Nem muitas palavras belas
Mas ela foi me levando pela mão
Íamos todos os dois
Assim ao léu
Ríamos, choravamos sem razão
Hoje lembrando-me dela
Me vendo nos olhos dela
Sei que o que tinha de ser se deu
Porque era ela
Porque era eu
