Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic journey, and 'Troca' by Jorge & Mateus is a great starting point for diving into Brazilian Portuguese. The song uses a common Brazilian idiom, 'muita areia pra esse caminhãozin'', offering a glimpse into the country's everyday expressions. With its clear, repetitive chorus centered around the verb 'trocar' (to change), you can easily pick up on its meaning and usage in a real-world context. 'Troca' is special because it combines an empowering message with the emotive and popular sertanejo style, making it a memorable and culturally rich learning experience.

[English]
It's not going to last
That's what I think looking from here
It's not going to last
You're too much for this little truck
He doesn't care to hold your hand
I've never seen him give you a big kiss in front of anyone
There's something wrong in this relationship and you know who
He didn't show affection, switch
Don't get excited, switch
Say I love you
And hear nothing in return, switch
Switch the guy
Switch the kiss
Change your life and come to mine
Switch the guy
Switch the kiss
Change your life and come to mine
Go, switch, switch
Go, switch
Switch, switch
...
