Lyrics (English translation):

Give
Your heart and your soul
Give
Give when you love
And how does one find the difference
Between taking and receiving?
You will yet learn how to give, to give

Discover hidden secrets
Untangle the knot
When your heart is crushed inside you
From every smile, from every look

You are careful, you know
And besides you, no one hears
The walks among the subtleties
And filling empty hours

Give
Your heart and your soul
Give when you love
You will yet learn how to give, to give

You’ll learn over the years
To build buildings together
To live with all the changes
To weave a life story with her

And to go through hard times
With troubles and emotions
To always know how to let go
And to preserve the taste

Give
Your heart and your soul
Give when you love
You will yet learn how to give, to give

To see amidst the downfall
That there is room for forgiveness
It's always possible to start again
Like a new day, as usual

Give, give

You will yet learn how to give, to give
You will yet learn how to give, to give
