[English]

Nem um pouco preocupado

Not worried at all

Com a vida alheia (vida alheia)

About other people's lives (other people's lives)

Pois só minha vida me interessa

Because only my life interests me

Só minha vida me interessa, ooh

Only my life interests me, ooh

E a meta é ficar focadão nos planos

And the goal is to stay focused on the plans

Sigo mantendo a mente no lugar

I keep my mind in place

O tempo passa e as coisas vão mudando

Time passes and things change

E o que passou já não vai mais voltar

And what has passed will never return

Eu vi vários dizer que sonham em ter minha vida

I've seen many say they dream of having my life

Será que tu aguentaria o meu lugar?

Do you think you could handle my place?

A fama é algo que várias pessoas querem

Fame is something that many people want

Mas nem imagina o preço a se pagar

But they don't even imagine the price to pay

E não para por aí (não para por aí)

And it doesn't stop there (it doesn't stop there)

E só tende a piorar (só piorar)

And it only tends to get worse (only get worse)

Isso nunca vai ter fim (isso nunca vai ter fim)

This will never end (this will never end)

Isso nunca vai parar

This will never stop

Foi a vida que eu escolhi (vida que eu escolhi)

It was the life I chose (life I chose)

Não adianta reclamar (eu não vou reclamar)

There's no use complaining (I won't complain)

Invejoso é assim, vão querer te ver cair

Envious people are like that, they'll want to see you fall

Mas eu duvido tu me derrubar (duvido, porra)

But I doubt you'll knock me down (I doubt it, damn)

Ninguém vai me fazer chorar

No one will make me cry

Ninguém vai me diminuir (ooh)

No one will diminish me (ooh)

Sei que, no fundo, eu não queria ser sozinho

I know, deep down, I didn't want to be alone

Mas o destino preferiu assim

But fate preferred it that way

Só quero que tu fique bem

I just want you to be well

Que outro te faça feliz

May another make you happy

E agora o tempo vai curar todas as feridas

And now time will heal all the wounds

E a nossa história tá guardada aqui

And our story is kept here

...

...

Vocês entraram no caminho do cara errado (uh)

You messed with the wrong guy (uh)

Não pensa que tá esquecido

Don't think you're forgotten

Que tá abandonado (não tá, não)

That you're abandoned (you're not, no)

Eu vou me vingar de todos que riram de mim (é)

I'm going to get revenge on everyone who laughed at me (yeah)

De todos que riram de mim

On everyone who laughed at me

Eu vou me vingar de todos que riram de mim

I'm going to get revenge on everyone who laughed at me

Eu anotei o seu nome

I wrote down your name

Eu sei o teu endereço

I know your address

Sei que você tá peidando

I know you're farting

Que tá morrendo de medo

That you're dying of fear

Eu vou me vingar de todos que riram de mim

I'm going to get revenge on everyone who laughed at me

De todos que riram de mim

On everyone who laughed at me

Eu vou me vingar de todos que riram de mim

I'm going to get revenge on everyone who laughed at me

De todos que riram de mim

On everyone who laughed at me

Deixa esse tempo passar

Let this time pass

Eu anotei o seu nome

I wrote down your name

Eu sei o seu endereço

I know your address

Sei que você tá peidando

I know you're farting

Que tá morrendo de medo

That you're dying of fear

Eu vou me vingar de todos que riram de mim

I'm going to get revenge on everyone who laughed at me

De todos que riram de mim

On everyone who laughed at me

Eu vou me vingar de todos que riram de mim

I'm going to get revenge on everyone who laughed at me

De todos que riram de mim

On everyone who laughed at me

Deixa esse tempo passar

Let this time pass

Ngữ pháp:

• Pois só minha vida me interessa

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (implied)

  ➔ While not explicitly using the subjunctive, the sentence implies a feeling or desire. The word “pois” can introduce a reason or explanation, and in this context, expresses the speaker's strong feeling about focusing on his own life. A more formal construction might explicitly use the subjunctive, but the sentiment is conveyed here.

• E o que passou já não vai mais voltar

  ➔ Negative Construction with Multiple Negative Words

  ➔ The sentence uses "não" and "mais" to reinforce the negative meaning: "o que passou já "não" vai "mais" voltar". The word 'já' (already) further emphasizes that the past won't return at all.

• Será que tu aguentaria o meu lugar?

  ➔ Conditional Tense / Question Formation

  ➔ The use of "aguentaria" (would endure) is the conditional tense. The sentence is also a question formed by inversion, placing the verb ("será") before the subject ("que tu").

• Mas nem imagina o preço a se pagar

  ➔ Impersonal Infinitive with Pronoun

  ➔ The phrase "a se pagar" uses the infinitive form of the verb "pagar" (to pay) preceded by the preposition "a" and the reflexive pronoun "se". This creates an impersonal construction indicating something that needs to be paid (the price).

• Invejoso é assim, vão querer te ver cair

  ➔ Future Subjunctive (informal)

  ➔ Although the future subjunctive is rarely used in spoken Brazilian Portuguese, the phrase "vão querer te ver cair" implies a future action seen from a certain perspective or possibility. It is a periphrastic future, using "vão querer" + infinitive.

• Sei que, no fundo, eu não queria ser sozinho

  ➔ Imperfect Subjunctive (Conditional Clause)

  ➔ The imperfect subjunctive "queria" (wanted) expresses a hypothetical or contrary-to-fact situation. While there isn't a formal "if" clause, the "Sei que, no fundo" (I know that, deep down) introduces the sentiment as something the speaker wishes were different, thus a conditional.

• Só quero que tu fique bem

  ➔ Subjunctive after 'Querer' with 'Que'

  ➔ When "querer" (to want) is followed by "que," it often introduces a clause in the subjunctive mood. Here, "fique" (stay) is in the subjunctive because it expresses a wish or desire.
