Excuse Me
Júnior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A mystical maker of schemes
Emotionally on my means
Me, no more than a grain of sand
And lost in the beach of your land
Unable to understand
( refrain )
When you're near
Reality loses its hold
And lonely the tears wet my soul
But what goes on inside your mind
And where i go
That fantasy drives us back
It really can't be so bad
And let it be people don`t know
Love, the chances are so very few
Excuse me for the strange things i do
I'm drowning in an ocean of you
( repeat refrain )
In these lyrics, Júnior sings about being lost in a relationship with someone who seems to exist in their own world of dreams and schemes. He describes himself as a small and insignificant grain of sand, unable to fully comprehend and connect with this other person's emotions and thoughts. However, when this person is near, Júnior feels like reality fades away and he becomes emotional and tearful.
Despite the confusion and uncertainty, Júnior holds onto the idea of love and the special connection he shares with this person, even though it may be rare and difficult to understand. He asks for forgiveness for any strange behavior he may exhibit due to his strong feelings, comparing himself to drowning in an ocean of this other person.
Overall, the song seems to explore the complexities of love and relationships, and the confusion and disorientation that can arise when two people don't fully understand each other.

You, a float in the lost world of dreams
A mystical maker of schemes
Emotion beyond my means
Me, no more than a grain of sand
And lost in the beach of your land
Unable to understand
When you're near
Reality loses its hold
And loneliness' tears at my soul
But what goes on inside your mind
And what I know
That fantasy drives us mad
It really can't be so bad
To let it take me one more time
Love, the chances seem so very few
Excuse me for the strange things I do
I'm drowning in an ocean of you
When you're near
Reality loses it’s hold
And loneliness tears at my soul
But what goes on inside your mind
And what I know
That fantasy drives us mad
It really can't be so bad
To let it take me one more time

Excuse Me!
You, a float in the lost world of dreams
A mystical maker of schemes
Emotion beyond my means
Me, no more than a grain of sand
And lost on the beach of your land
Unable to understand
(Chorus)
When you're near
Reality loses its hold
And lonely the tears wet my soul
But what goes on inside your mind
And where I go
That fantasy drives us back
It really can't be so bad
To let it make people (once fine)
Love, the chances are so very few
Excuse me for the strange things I do
I'm drowning in an ocean of you
Perdoe me!
Você, uma balsa num mundo perdido de sonhos
Uma mística criadora de planos
Emocionalmente em meus sentidos
Eu, nada mais que um grão de areia
E perdido na praia de seu reino
Incapaz de entender
(Refrão)
Quando você está perto
A realidade perde sua influência
E, sozinho, as lágrimas molham minha alma
Mas o que se passa dentro de sua mente
E aonde quer que eu vá
Aquela fantasia nos leva de volta
Realmente não pode ser tão ruim
Deixar fazer as pessoas (que já foram felizes)
Amor, as oportunidades são tão poucas
Perdoe-me pelas coisas estranhas que faço
Estou me afogando num oceano de você

You, afloat in the lost world of dreams
A mystical maker of schemes
Emotion beyond my means
Me, no more than a grain of sand
And lost in the beach of your land
Unable to understand
When you're near
Reality loses its hold
And lonely, the tears wet my soul
For what goes on inside your mind
And while I know
That fantasy drives us mad
It really can't be so bad
To let it take me one more time
Love, the chances seem so very few
Excuse me for the strange things I do
I'm drowning in an ocean of you
When you're near
Reality loses its hold
And lonely, the tears wet my soul
For what goes on inside your mind
And while I know
That fantasy drives us mad
It really can't be so bad
To let it take me one more time
Tradução:
Você, flutuante em um mundo perdido dos sonhos
Uma mística criadora de esquemas
Emoção além do que posso suportar
Eu, nada além de um grão de areia
E perdido na praia de sua terra
Incapaz de compreender
Quando você está próxima
A realidade perde seu espaço
E solitário, as lágrimas molham minha alma
Pelo que se passa em sua mente
E ainda que eu saiba
Que a fantasia nos enlouquece
Não poder ser tão mal assim
Permitir que ela me tome mais uma vez
Amor, as chances parecem tão poucas
Me perdoe pelas coisas estranhas que faço
Estou me afogando no oceano de você
Quando você está próxima
A realidade perde seu espaço
E solitário, as lágrimas molham minha alma
Pelo que se passa em sua mente
E ainda que eu saiba
Que a fantasia nos enlouquece
Não poder ser tão mal assim
Permitir que ela me tome mais uma vez
