De Igual Pra Igual
José Augusto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Você mentiu
Quando jurava prá mim fidelidade
Fui apenas um escravo da maldade
Você quis, você lutou e conseguiu

Você feriu sentimentos que a ti eu dediquei
Quantas vezes o seu pranto eu enxuguei
Por pensar que era por mim que chorava

Você fingiu
Você brincou com a minha sensibilidade
É o fim do nosso caso na verdade
Só nos restam recordações

Não toque em mim
Pois eu descobri que você não é nada
Não podemos seguir juntos nessa estrada
É o fim do amor sincero que eu senti

Mais aprendi
Fazer amor prá te ferir sem sentir nada
Enquanto eu amava você me enganava

De igual prá igual
Quem sabe a gente pode ser feliz

Você mentiu
You lied

Quando jurava prá mim fidelidade
When you swore loyalty to me

Fui apenas um escravo da maldade
I was just a slave to wrongdoing

Você quis, você lutou e conseguiu
You wanted it, you fought for it, and you got it

Você feriu sentimentos que a ti eu dediquei
You hurt the feelings that I devoted to you

Quantas vezes o seu pranto eu enxuguei
How many times I dried your tears

Por pensar que era por mim que chorava
Thinking that you were crying for me

Você fingiu
You pretended

Você brincou com a minha sensibilidade
You played with my sensitivity

É o fim do nosso caso na verdade
This is really the end of our relationship

Só nos restam recordações
Only memories remain for us
