"Amar pelos dois" (English: Love for both of us) was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kiev, performed by Salvador Sobral.

After winning the first semi final, it won the Contest with 758 points, overtaking the previous record holder "1944" under the new voting system. This gave the country its first ever win since they started participating in 1964, setting a record for the longest time competing without a win.

For the winning performance, he was joined by his sister, who wrote the song. She also joined him onstage when he won the Portuguese national final.

Lyrics[]

Se um dia alguém perguntar por mim
Diz que vivi p’ra te amar
Antes de ti só existi
Cansado e sem nada p’ra dar
Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces
Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer
Eu sei que não se ama sozinho
Talvez devagarinho possas voltar a aprender

Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces
Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer
Eu sei que não se ama sozinho
Talvez devagarinho possas voltar a aprender

Se o teu coração não quiser ceder
Não sentir paixão, não quiser sofrer
Sem fazer planos do que virá depois

O meu coração pode amar pelos dois

If one day someone asks about me
Say that I lived to love you
Before you I only existed
Tired and with nothing to give
My dear, listen to my pleas
I ask you to come back, that you’ll want me again
I know that one can’t love by oneself
Maybe with time you can learn again

My dear, listen to my pleas
I ask you to come back, that you’ll want me again
I know that one can’t love by oneself
Maybe with time you can learn again

If your heart doesn’t want to give in
Doesn’t feel passion, doesn’t want to suffer
Without making plans about what will happen

My heart can love for both of us
