Pelo Retrovisor
Aíla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O Sol ferve no asfalto
E um guri junta manga na grama
Você olha impassiva, deslumbra
Você passa por mim, mais bonita

Pelo retrovisor, eu te vejo
Me vejo, ansiando te olhar
Como um louco
Mais um pouco antes do sinal fechar

Uma velha, um menino, um polícia
Uma boca carnuda
Uma saia, um pingente, um pescoço
Umas coxas graúdas

E o tempo coando, escoando
A paisagem aqui dentro de mim




Você dentro de mim, quase louça
Coração, flor, vulcão, querubim

O Sol ferve no asfalto
The sun beats down on the pavement


E um guri junta manga na grama
And a boy gathers mangoes on the grass


Você olha impassiva, deslumbra
You stare impassively, dazzling


Você passa por mim, mais bonita
You pass me by, even more beautiful


Pelo retrovisor, eu te vejo
In the rearview mirror, I see you


Me vejo, ansiando te olhar
I see myself, yearning to look at you


Como um louco
Like a crazy person


Mais um pouco antes do sinal fechar
Just a little bit longer before the signal turns red


Uma velha, um menino, um polícia
An old woman, a boy, a policeman


Uma boca carnuda
A full lips


Uma saia, um pingente, um pescoço
A skirt, a pendant, a neck


Umas coxas graúdas
Thick thighs


E o tempo coando, escoando
And time trickling away


A paisagem aqui dentro de mim
The landscape inside of me


Você dentro de mim, quase louça
You inside of me, almost mad


Coração, flor, vulcão, querubim
Heart, flower, volcano, cherub
