Senhora de Si – Bilingual Lyrics Portuguese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

Com a mochila às costas

With the backpack on my back

Lá ia eu

There I was

P'ra o 37

For the 37

Tu no banco da frente

You in the front seat

De fones nos ouvidos

With headphones on

Com a tua cassete

With your cassette

Mas eu não te dizia nada

But I didn't say anything to you

Nem uma palavra

Not a word

Só sorria p'ra ti

I just smiled at you

E tu, ou eras desligada

And you, either you were disconnected

Ou meio aluada, senhora de si

Or a bit spaced out, lady of yourself

Sentavas-te à minha frente

You sat in front of me

A tapar-me a vista

Blocking my view

Mas não me importava

But I didn't mind

Qualquer jeito no cabelo

Any way your hair was

Ou simples espreguiçar

Or just stretching

Para mim chegava

That was enough for me

Mas eu não te dizia nada

But I didn't say anything to you

Nem uma palavra

Not a word

Só sorria para ti

I just smiled at you

E tu, ou eras desligada

And you, either you were disconnected

Ou meio aluada, senhora de si

Or a bit spaced out, lady of yourself

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Senhora de si

Lady of yourself

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Senhora de si

Lady of yourself

Eu contava os minutos

I counted the minutes

Só p'ra estarmos juntos

Just to be together

Mesmo sem falar

Even without talking

Tinha fones nos ouvidos

I had headphones on

A ouvir canções

Listening to songs

Que te queria mostrar

That I wanted to show you

Mas tu nunca disseste nada

But you never said anything

Nem uma palavra

Not a word

Esse sorriso é p'ra mim?

Is that smile for me?

É que eu finjo ser desligada

It's just that I pretend to be disconnected

Meio complicada, senhora de mim

A bit complicated, lady of myself

Sentava-me à tua frente

I sat in front of you

A tapar a janela

Blocking the window

E tu nem ligavas

And you didn't even care

Mexia tanto no cabelo

You played with your hair so much

Até me espreguiçava

That I even stretched

Sem estar cansada

Without being tired

Mas tu nunca disseste nada

But you never said anything

Nem uma palavra

Not a word

Esse sorriso é p'ra mim?

Is that smile for me?

É que eu finjo ser desligada

It's just that I pretend to be disconnected

Meio complicada, senhora de mim

A bit complicated, lady of myself

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Senhora de mim

Lady of myself

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Senhora de mim

Lady of myself

Vou-lhe falar

I will talk to her

Eu vou-lhe dizer

I will tell her

Só faço esta viagem por ti

I only make this trip for you

Ele acha que eu tenho a cabeça na lua

He thinks I have my head in the clouds

Mas o 37 nem passa na minha rua

But the 37 doesn't even pass by my street

...

...

Nunca te mostrei as canções

I never showed you the songs

Mas ainda as ouço

But I still listen to them

E penso em ti

And think of you

Será que ouves a mesma cassete

Do you hear the same cassette

Do 37

From the 37

Senhora de ti?

Lady of you?

...
