[English]

With the backpack on my back

There I was

For the 37

You in the front seat

With headphones on

With your cassette

But I didn't say anything to you

Not a word

I just smiled at you

And you, either you were disconnected

Or a bit spaced out, lady of yourself

You sat in front of me

Blocking my view

But I didn't mind

Any way your hair was

Or just stretching

That was enough for me

But I didn't say anything to you

Not a word

I just smiled at you

And you, either you were disconnected

Or a bit spaced out, lady of yourself

Oh, oh, oh

Lady of yourself

Oh, oh, oh

Lady of yourself

I counted the minutes

Just to be together

Even without talking

I had headphones on

Listening to songs

That I wanted to show you

But you never said anything

Not a word

Is that smile for me?

It's just that I pretend to be disconnected

A bit complicated, lady of myself

I sat in front of you

Blocking the window

And you didn't even care

You played with your hair so much

That I even stretched

Without being tired

But you never said anything

Not a word

Is that smile for me?

It's just that I pretend to be disconnected

A bit complicated, lady of myself

Oh, oh, oh

Lady of myself

Oh, oh, oh

Lady of myself

I will talk to her

I will tell her

I only make this trip for you

He thinks I have my head in the clouds

But the 37 doesn't even pass by my street

...

I never showed you the songs

But I still listen to them

And think of you

Do you hear the same cassette

From the 37

Lady of you?

...

[Portuguese]

Com a mochila às costas

Lá ia eu

P'ra o 37

Tu no banco da frente

De fones nos ouvidos

Com a tua cassete

Mas eu não te dizia nada

Nem uma palavra

Só sorria p'ra ti

E tu, ou eras desligada

Ou meio aluada, senhora de si

Sentavas-te à minha frente

A tapar-me a vista

Mas não me importava

Qualquer jeito no cabelo

Ou simples espreguiçar

Para mim chegava

Mas eu não te dizia nada

Nem uma palavra

Só sorria para ti

E tu, ou eras desligada

Ou meio aluada, senhora de si

Oh, oh, oh

Senhora de si

Oh, oh, oh

Senhora de si

Eu contava os minutos

Só p'ra estarmos juntos

Mesmo sem falar

Tinha fones nos ouvidos

A ouvir canções

Que te queria mostrar

Mas tu nunca disseste nada

Nem uma palavra

Esse sorriso é p'ra mim?

É que eu finjo ser desligada

Meio complicada, senhora de mim

Sentava-me à tua frente

A tapar a janela

E tu nem ligavas

Mexia tanto no cabelo

Até me espreguiçava

Sem estar cansada

Mas tu nunca disseste nada

Nem uma palavra

Esse sorriso é p'ra mim?

É que eu finjo ser desligada

Meio complicada, senhora de mim

Oh, oh, oh

Senhora de mim

Oh, oh, oh

Senhora de mim

Vou-lhe falar

Eu vou-lhe dizer

Só faço esta viagem por ti

Ele acha que eu tenho a cabeça na lua

Mas o 37 nem passa na minha rua

Nunca te mostrei as canções

Mas ainda as ouço

E penso em ti

Será que ouves a mesma cassete

Do 37

Senhora de ti?
