Lyrics Translation

When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned

Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now, my love has grown

And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day

Do I love you? My, oh, my
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy, did you have a puppy
That always followed you around?
Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No, I'll never let you down

'Cause it grows stronger like a river flows
And it gets bigger, baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter, baby, as it grows

Do I love you? My, oh, my
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you, baby, like a flower loves the spring
And I love you, baby, like the robin loves to sing
And I love you, baby, like a schoolboy loves his pet
And I love you, baby, river deep, mountain high

Oh, baby (oh, baby)
Oh, baby, oh, yeah
Yeah

Do I love you? My, oh, my, yeah
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby, baby

When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll
Quando eu era uma menina, eu tinha uma boneca de pano
Only doll I've ever owned
A única boneca que já tive
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
Agora eu te amo do jeito que amava aquela boneca de pano
But only now, my love has grown
Mas só agora, meu amor cresceu
And it gets stronger in every way
E fica mais forte a cada dia
And it gets deeper, let me say
E fica mais profundo, deixe-me dizer
And it gets higher, day by day
E fica mais alto, dia após dia
Do I love you? My, oh, my
Eu te amo? Meu Deus, sim
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rio profundo, montanha alta, sim, sim, sim
If I lost you, would I cry?
Se eu te perdesse, eu choraria?
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, como eu te amo, querido, querido, querido, querido
When you were a young boy, did you have a puppy
Quando você era um menino, você tinha um cachorrinho
That always followed you around?
Que sempre te seguia por aí?
Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
Bem, eu vou ser tão fiel quanto aquele cachorrinho
No, I'll never let you down
Não, eu nunca vou te decepcionar
'Cause it grows stronger like a river flows
Porque cresce mais forte como um rio flui
And it gets bigger, baby, and heaven knows
E fica maior, querido, e o céu sabe
And it gets sweeter, baby, as it grows
E fica mais doce, querido, à medida que cresce
Do I love you? My, oh, my
Eu te amo? Meu Deus, sim
River deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rio profundo, montanha alta, sim, sim, sim
If I lost you, would I cry?
Se eu te perdesse, eu choraria?
Oh, how I love you, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, como eu te amo, querido, querido, querido, querido
I love you, baby, like a flower loves the spring
Eu te amo, querido, como uma flor ama a primavera
And I love you, baby, like the robin loves to sing
E eu te amo, querido, como o rouxinol ama cantar
And I love you, baby, like a schoolboy loves his pet
E eu te amo, querido, como um estudante ama seu animal de estimação
And I love you, baby, river deep, mountain high
E eu te amo, querido, rio profundo, montanha alta
