Lyrics & Translation
Dive into the nuanced world of Brazilian music with Wesley Safadão and Ana Castela's 'Covardia.' This song offers a relatable exploration of emotional complexities in relationships, using its blend of Forró and Sertanejo to create a memorable and engaging listening experience.
It's Safadão ready, prepared, and wanting
In that way
My cowardice to call you
Your innocence to answer me
Knowing that I won't change
That I won't take you on
Knowing that I'll make you suffer (come on!)
It would be easier to forget me
But you like what I know how to do
It would be easier to avoid me
But you like to deceive yourself
It would be easier to forget me
But you like what I know how to do
It would be easier to avoid me
But you like to deceive yourself
Uh, the Boiadeira
Uh, the Boiadeira
Come here, Ana Castela!
My cowardice to call you
Your innocence to answer me
Knowing that I won't change
That I won't take you on
Knowing that I'll make you suffer
It would be easier to forget me
(But you liked what I know how to do)
It would be easier to avoid me
But you like to deceive yourself
It would be easier to forget me
But you like what I know how to do
It would be easier to avoid me
But you like to deceive yourself
It's Safadão and the Boiadeira
It's Safadão and the Boiadeira
Go, Safadão!
Go, Safadão!
