Ando Meio Desligado
Marisa Monte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meio desligado
Eu nem sinto
Meus pés no chão
Olho
E não vejo nada
Eu só penso
Se você me quer
De te dizer
Aquilo tudo
Que eu decorei
E depois do beijo
Que eu já sonhei
Você vai sentir mas
Por favor
Não me leve a mal
Eu só quero que você me queira
Não leve a mal
Não leve a mal
Não leve a mal
Não leve a mal
Ando
Meio desligado
Eu nem sinto
Meus pés no chão
Olho
E não vejo nada
Eu só penso
Se você me quer
Eu nem vejo a hora
De te dizer
Aquilo tudo
Que eu decorei
E depois do beijo
Que eu já sonhei
Você vai sentir mas
Por favor
Não me leve a mal
Eu só quero que você me queira
Não leve a mal
Não leve a mal
Não leve a mal
Não leve a mal
Marisa Monte’s song “Ando Meio Desligado,” which means “I’m sort of disconnected” in English, is a tune about daydreaming and infatuation. The singer is so lost in thought about the object of her affection that she doesn’t feel like she’s walking on the ground. She can’t see anything else around her, only the person she desires. She’s waiting for the perfect moment to confess her love and imagines how great it will feel to finally kiss her crush. She asks that the person she adores not take offense at her advances; all she wants is to be loved in return.
This song uses a psychedelic-influenced sound that is both catchy and cheerful. Marisa Monte sings the lyrics with a playful, lighthearted tone, drawing the listener into the singer’s fantasies. The lyrics build upon one another, pulling the listener along with the whimsical melody to imagine the possibility of love.

Ando
I walk
Meio desligado
Sort of disconnected
Eu nem sinto
I don't even feel
Meus pés no chão
My feet on the ground
Olho
I look
E não vejo nada
And I see nothing
Eu só penso
I just think
Se você me quer
If you want me
Eu nem vejo a hora
I don't even see the time
De te dizer
To tell you
Aquilo tudo
All of that
Que eu decorei
That I memorized
E depois do beijo
And after the kiss
Que eu já sonhei
That I already dreamed of
Você vai sentir mas
You will feel it but
Por favor
Please
Não me leve a mal
Don't take offense
Eu só quero que você me queira
I just want you to want me
Não leve a mal
Don't take offense
Não leve a mal
Don't take offense
Não leve a mal
Don't take offense
Não leve a mal
Don't take offense
