Preciso Dizer Que Te Amo
Marina Lima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Contando casos, besteiras
Tanta coisa em comum
Deixando escapar segredos
E eu não sei em que hora dizer
Me dá um medo, que medo
Eu preciso dizer que eu te amo
Eu preciso dizer que eu te amo
Tanto
E até o tempo passa arrastado
Só pra eu ficar do teu lado
Você me chora dores de outro amor
Se abre e acaba comigo
E nessa novela eu não quero ser teu amigo
Que amigo, oh!
Que eu preciso dizer que eu te amo
Te ganhar ou perder sem engano
Que eu preciso dizer que eu te amo
Tanto

However, the singer feels afraid to confess their love to the other person, as they fear the possibility of losing them. The fear of not being reciprocated, of being rejected by the person they love, is evident in the lyrics. The singer wants to tell the other person that they love them, and that it is important to them to do so, even if it means risking the friendship they have.
The lyrics also depict the singer's desire to be with the person they love, so much so that time passes slowly when they are together. The singer is willing to endure the pain of the other person's past relationships just to be close to them. They refuse to be just friends and want to express their feelings, even though it might mean the end of their relationship.

Quando a gente conversa
When we talk
Contando casos, besteiras
Sharing stories, nonsense
Tanta coisa em comum
So much in common
Deixando escapar segredos
Letting secrets slip
E eu não sei em que hora dizer
And I don't know when to say
Me dá um medo, que medo
It scares me, oh how it scares me
Eu preciso dizer que eu te amo
I need to say I love you
Te ganhar ou perder sem engano
To win or lose you, no mistake
Eu preciso dizer que eu te amo
I need to say I love you
Tanto
So much
E até o tempo passa arrastado
And time passes slowly
Só pra eu ficar do teu lado
Just so I can be by your side
Você me chora dores de outro amor
You cry to me about pains of another love
Se abre e acaba comigo
You open up and destroy me
E nessa novela eu não quero ser teu amigo
And in this soap opera, I don't want to be just your friend
Que amigo, oh!
Just a friend, oh!
Que eu preciso dizer que eu te amo
That I need to say I love you
Te ganhar ou perder sem engano
To win or lose you, no mistake
Que eu preciso dizer que eu te amo
That I need to say I love you
Tanto
So much

Essa música na voz de Bebel e Cazuza é meu xodó, mas essa interpretação de Marina consegue deixar ela ainda melhor.
