Ela

• Por: Tim Bernardes
• Álbum: Recomeçar

Letra:

[Português]

[English]

Quando acorda olha para o lado

When she wakes up, she looks to the side

Se veste bonita pra ninguém

Dresses beautifully for no one

Chora escondida no banheiro

Cries hidden in the bathroom

Pras amigas finge que está bem

Pretends to be fine for her friends

Mas eu vejo

But I see

Eu vejo

I see

Acha que precisa ser durona

Thinks she needs to be tough

Não dá espaço para a dor passar

Doesn't give space for the pain to pass

Tem um grito preso na garganta

There's a scream stuck in her throat

Que não está deixando ela falar

That won't let her speak

Mas eu ouço

But I hear

Eu ouço

I hear

Quase como que anestesiada

Almost as if she's anesthetized

...

...

Vai deixando a vida carregar

Letting life carry her away

Ela sentiu mais do que aguentava

She felt more than she could bear

Não quer sentir nada nunca mais

Doesn't want to feel anything ever again

Mas eu sinto

But I feel

Eu sinto

I feel

Qualquer um que encontra ela na rua

Anyone who meets her on the street

Vê que alguma coisa se apagou

Sees that something has faded

Ela está ficando diferente

She's becoming different

Acho que ninguém a avisou

I think no one told her

E eu digo

And I say

Eu digo

I say

...

...
