Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

Eu não percebo

I don't understand

Sempre que pedes

Every time you ask

Eu sou-te sincero

I'm being sincere

Não tenho medo

I'm not afraid

Mas nunca esqueço

But I never forget

Que não conheço

That I don't know

Alguém como tu que me ame sem preço

Anyone like you who loves me unconditionally

Ou que tenha o apreço

Or who has the appreciation

Porque mereço

Because I deserve it

Não pelo sucesso

Not because of success

Porque tudo que nos vem

Because everything that comes to us

Vai, vai, cai, cai

Goes, goes, falls, falls

E outras bye, bye, bye

And others bye, bye, bye

E quem queremos mais

And who do we want more

Vai, vai, sai, sai

Goes, goes, leaves, leaves

E outras bye, bye, bye

And others bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Sei que não quero

I know I don't want

Fugir como sempre que o amor nos pede

To run away like always when love asks us

Desculpa-me mesmo

Forgive me even

Se nunca tento ser tão perfeito

If I never try to be so perfect

Às vezes sou mais do que aquilo que pedes

Sometimes I'm more than what you ask

Mas não tenhas medo

But don't be afraid

És tudo que eu quero

You're everything I want

É o meu dialeto

You're my dialect

Porque tudo que nos vem

Because everything that comes to us

Vai, vai, cai, cai

Goes, goes, falls, falls

E outras bye, bye, bye

And others bye, bye, bye

E quem queremos mais

And who do we want more

Vai, vai, sai, sai

Goes, goes, leaves, leaves

E outras bye, bye, bye

And others bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Mesmo que não precise eu sei

Even if I don't need it, I know

Que tu estarás aqui

That you'll be here

Mesmo que não exista

Even if it doesn't exist

Eu sei que falas só para mim

I know you speak only to me

Bye bye bye

Bye bye bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye

Porque tudo que nos vem

Because everything that comes to us

Vai, vai, cai, cai

Goes, goes, falls, falls

E outras bye, bye, bye

And others bye, bye, bye

E quem queremos mais

And who do we want more

Vai, vai, sai, sai

Goes, goes, leaves, leaves

E outras bye, bye, bye

And others bye, bye, bye

Porque tudo que nos vem

Because everything that comes to us

Vai, vai, cai, cai

Goes, goes, falls, falls

E outras bye, bye, bye

And others bye, bye, bye

E quem queremos mais

And who do we want more

Vai, vai, sai, sai

Goes, goes, leaves, leaves

E outras bye, bye, bye

And others bye, bye, bye
