Joyce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nгo me zango com vocк
Porque vocк nгo tem sustanзa
Vocк nгo sabe o que faz
E quanto mais se faz, se danзa
Pra que vou me aborrecer
Perder meu tempo com cobranзa
Por gostar de uma crianзa?
Relaxe,
Nгo sou eu quem vai tentar corrigir vocк
Pena й saber
Que te falta a sutileza pra perceber
Que cansa
Que maltrata um coraзгo
Que jб nгo tem tanta esperanзa
Pra investir numa crianзa.
The lyrics of "Crianca" by Joyce bring to light the challenges of being in a relationship with someone who is immature and lacks self-awareness. In the first verse, the singer expresses their frustration with the other person's behavior, acknowledging that they do not have much substance or understanding of their actions. Despite this, the singer also acknowledges that it is pointless to get angry or try to change the other person, recognizing that they are still just a child.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to not engage in a power struggle or to try and "fix" the other person. Instead, the singer suggests that it is a shame that the other person does not have the sensitivity to realize the harm they may be causing to the singer's heart, which has already been worn down by disappointment and dashed hopes. The final lines of the song express the singer's resignation to the situation, noting that they do not have any hope left to invest in the relationship with this "child."
Overall, "Crianca" is a poignant and insightful song that touches on themes of emotional maturity, the challenges of relationships, and the difficult decision to give up on someone who may not be capable of reciprocating the same level of emotional investment.

Nгo me zango com vocк
I'm not angry with you
Porque vocк nгo tem sustanзa
Because you don't have substance
Vocк nгo sabe o que faz
You don't know what you're doing
E quanto mais se faz, se danзa
And the more you do, the more you dance
Pra que vou me aborrecer
Why should I get upset
Perder meu tempo com cobranзa
Waste my time with demands
Por gostar de uma crianзa?
Just because I like a child?
Relaxe,
Relax,
Nгo sou eu quem vai tentar corrigir vocк
I'm not the one who will try to correct you
Pena й saber
It's a shame to know
Que te falta a sutileza pra perceber
That you lack the subtlety to realize
Que cansa
That it's tiring
Que maltrata um coraзгo
That mistreats a heart
Que jб nгo tem tanta esperanзa
That no longer has as much hope
Pra investir numa crianзa.
To invest in a child.
