[English]

I look at you and I see

You look at me and you see that

Being a couple was my wish, but

In your mind, life was three and

And when I left

And when I say that, that...

I was lost in life and you

Cared for me with certainty

I liked, I felt, I painted myself bare

A face and a body on the table

Today looking at you feels like déjà vu

Nothing was right, and your coldness

Left me distant, and that says so much

That if I get up from my sadness

And when I left, you

Didn't even want to believe

You thought I was good for anything

But I couldn't take it anymore

And when I say that

I don't even want to talk

Save me the words

Just so I can

Find you

Find you

Find you

Just so I can

I know that for many, life falls apart

No, no

I won't allow my life to stop, so

Today, my time is precious and I don't

Look back, and the conclusion

Is to enjoy what life has to offer

Today, you don't hear what I say

That what I say isn't good for you

And now it's work from nine to five, because

I'll hold on to rap, and probably

Focus on the past, and I only hope that

You won't try to interfere because I’ll pull away

And I'm fed up

You didn't value those who appreciate you

Today you move from room to room

And you always end up alone in bed

And when I left

You didn't even want to believe

You thought I was good for anything

But I couldn't take it anymore

And when I say that

I don't even want to talk

Save me the words

Just so I can

Find you

Find you

Find you

Just so I can

Find you

Find you

Find you

...

[Portuguese]

Eu olho p'ra ti e vejo

Tu olhas p'ra mim e vês que

Ser a dois era o meu desejo, mas

Na tua cabeça a vida era a três e

E quando eu me fui

E quando eu disser que, que...

Eu andava perdido na vida e tu

Cuidavas de mim com certa certeza

Gostava, sentia, pintava a nu

Uma cara e um corpo em cima da mesa

Hoje olhar p'ra ti é um déjà-vu

Nada foi certo e a tua frieza

Deixou-me distante e isso diz tanto

Que se eu me levanto da minha tristeza

E quando eu me fui, tu

Nem quiseste acreditar

Pensavas que eu era p'ra tudo

Mas nada deu para aguentar

E quando eu disser que

Nem quero falar

Poupa-me as palavras

Só para me poder

Encontrar

Encontrar

Encontrar

Só para me poder

Eu sei que p'ra muitos a vida cai

Não, não

Não vou permitir que a minha vida pare e então

Hoje o meu tempo é caro e eu não

Olho pa' trás e a conclusão

Aproveitar o que a vida tem

Hoje não ouves aquilo que eu digo

Que aquilo que eu digo p'ra ti não convém

E agora é trabalhar das nove às sete que

Vou me agarrar ao rap e o mais certo é

A cara no passado e eu só espero que

Não venhas meter a mão porque eu vou tirar o pé

E eu fiquei farto

Não deste valor a quem te valoriza

Hoje andas de quarto em quarto

E acabas sempre numa cama sozinha

E quando eu me fui, tu

Nem quiseste acreditar

Pensavas que eu era p'ra tudo

Mas nada deu para aguentar

E quando eu disser que

Nem quero falar

Poupa-me as palavras

Só para me poder

Encontrar

Encontrar

Encontrar

Só para me poder
