Carro

• By: Bárbara Bandeira, Dillaz

Lyrics:

[Português]

[English]

Nunca precisei, não pedi que tu me desses tudo

I never needed, I didn't ask you to give me everything

Nem quase tudo

Not even almost everything

Eu nunca reclamei, fiz de ti dono do meu futuro

I never complained, I made you the owner of my future

Nunca quis o restaurante caro

I never wanted the expensive restaurant

E se eu quiser, sou eu que pago

And if I want, I'm the one who pays

Eu não fiz de ti nenhum culpado

I didn't make you any kind of guilty

Mas se era p'ra te ter avisado

But if I was supposed to warn you

Queria que pegasses no carro

I wanted you to get in the car

Batesses à porta e implorasses

Knock on the door and beg

Juro, eu só queria que chorasses

I swear, I just wanted you to cry

E me contasses o que é que viste em mim

And tell me what you saw in me

Queria que pegasses no carro

I wanted you to get in the car

Batesses à porta e implorasses

Knock on the door and beg

Juro, eu só queria que chorasses

I swear, I just wanted you to cry

E me contasses o que é que viste em mim

And tell me what you saw in me

Quando de ti escutei

When I heard from you

Que só por te ter eu era um sortudo, disseste tudo

That just by having you I was lucky, you said it all

Eu nunca fui ninguém, sou gota d'água no teu sobretudo

I was never anyone, I'm a drop of water in your overcoat

Ah, e se não dá, então há que assumir

Ah, and if it doesn't work, then we have to face it

Já não dá, não

It doesn't work anymore, no

Eu já não vou remar, eu já não vou guiar à contramão

I'm not going to row anymore, I'm not going to drive against the flow

Se aquela que 'tava cá há uns tempos

If the one who was here some time ago

P'ra mim já não dá, não

For me it doesn't work anymore, no

Se aquela que 'tava cá há uns tempos

If the one who was here some time ago

P'ra mim já não tá, não

For me is not here anymore, no

Se não tens a noção

If you don't have the notion

Por ti eu circulava às oito na IC-19

For you, I used to drive at eight on the IC-19

Eu subia a montanha mais alta só p'ra sentir frio

I climbed the highest mountain just to feel cold

Eu mergulhava à noite no Guincho

I dove at night in Guincho

Memo' quando chove

Even when it rains

Eu entrava no carro, mas, querida, não tens a noção

I got in the car, but, darling, you have no idea

Que por ti eu circulava às oito na IC-19

That for you, I used to drive at eight on the IC-19

Eu subia à montanha mais alta só p'ra sentir frio

I climbed the highest mountain just to feel cold

Eu mergulhava à noite no Guincho, memo' quando chove

I dove at night in Guincho, even when it rains

Queria que pegasses no carro (eu entrava no carro)

I wanted you to get in the car (I got in the car)

Batesses à porta e implorasses

Knock on the door and beg

Juro, eu só queria que chorasses

I swear, I just wanted you to cry

E me contasses o que é que viste em mim

And tell me what you saw in me

Queria que pegasses no carro

I wanted you to get in the car

Batesses à porta e implorasses

Knock on the door and beg

Juro, eu só queria que chorasses

I swear, I just wanted you to cry

E me contasses o que é que viste em mim (wow)

And tell me what you saw in me (wow)

Nunca quis o restaurante caro (isso é mentira, ahn)

I never wanted the expensive restaurant (that's a lie, ahn)

E se eu quiser, sou eu que pago (ya, ya, ya, ya)

And if I want, I'm the one who pays (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Eu não fiz de ti nenhum culpado

I didn't make you any kind of guilty

Mas se era p'ra te ter avisado

But if I was supposed to warn you
