[English]

Quantas vezes me perdi?

How many times have I lost myself?

Quantas vezes machuquei-me?

How many times have I hurt myself?

Escolho sempre o amor

I always choose love

E me ferro

And I get hurt

Eu gosto de me ferir

I like to hurt myself

Aprendo, depois sempre erro de novo

I learn, then I always make the same mistake again

Me iludo tão fácil

I fool myself so easily

Mas que bobo!

But what a fool!

Masoquista do amor

A masochist of love

No romance, um terror

In romance, a nightmare

Nunca dá certo

It’s never works out

Comigo nunca dá certo

It never works out for me

É que o amor machuca demais

It’s just that love hurts too much

Ninguém me avisou

Nobody warned me

Pra pessoa errada? Eu sei!

To the wrong person? I know!

Que continuo errando

That I keep on making the same mistake

Me ferrando

Getting hurt

Parece que eu gosto de sofrer

It seems I like suffering

Meus olhos ardem de tanto choro

My eyes burn from so much crying

Me iludo tão fácil

I fool myself so easily

Mas que bobo!

But what a fool!
