Errei Sim
Maria Bethânia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Errei, sim
Manchei o teu nome
Mas foste tu mesmo o culpado
Deixavas-me em casa
Me trocando pela orgia
Faltando sempre
Com a tua companhia
Lembro-te agora
Que não é só casa e comida
Que prende por toda vida
O coração de uma mulher
As jòias que me davas
Não tinham nenhum valor
Se o mais caro me negavas
Que era todo o teu amor
Mas se existe ainda
Quem queira me condenar




Que venha logo
A primeira pedra me atirar

Line by Line Meaning

Errei, sim
I admit it, I was wrong


Manchei o teu nome
I tarnished your name


Mas foste tu mesmo o culpado
But you were the one to blame


Deixavas-me em casa
You left me at home


Me trocando pela orgia
Choosing orgies over me


Faltando sempre
Always missing


Com a tua companhia
With your presence


Lembro-te agora
I remind you now


Que não é só casa e comida
That it's not just about food and shelter


Que prende por toda vida
That keeps a woman tied for a lifetime


O coração de uma mulher
Is a woman's heart


As jòias que me davas
The jewels you gave me


Não tinham nenhum valor
Were worthless


Se o mais caro me negavas
If you denied me the most precious thing


Que era todo o teu amor
Which was all of your love


Mas se existe ainda
But if there still exists


Quem queira me condenar
Someone who wants to condemn me


Que venha logo
Let them come now


A primeira pedra me atirar
And throw the first stone at me
