Sofia
O Grilo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dá pra ver pela janela
A paisagem aquarela
Menina, e as flores no jardim

Eu vou chegando devagar
Ela comeca a me olhar
E eu digo algo mais ou menos assim

Sorria, Sofia
Pois quando você ri o mundo inteiro ri de volta pra
Sofia, um dia
Você pode esquecer de mim mas saiba
Que eu nunca vou te esquecer

Nem sempre a água vai dar pé
Nem sempre um santo vai ter fé
Mas Sofia, acredite em mim

O sol nasce com promessa

De uma vida sem pressa
Viva agora e nunca pense no fim

Dá pra ver pela janela
From the window, one can see

A paisagem aquarela
A watercolor landscape

Menina, e as flores no jardim
And a garden full of flowers, my dear

Eu vou chegando devagar
I arrive slowly

Ela comeca a me olhar
She starts to look at me

E eu digo algo mais ou menos assim
And I say something more or less like this

Sorria, Sofia
Smile, Sofia

Pois quando você ri o mundo inteiro ri de volta pra
Because when you laugh, the whole world laughs back to you

Sofia, um dia
Sofia, one day

Você pode esquecer de mim mas saiba
You may forget about me, but know

Que eu nunca vou te esquecer
That I will never forget you

Nem sempre a água vai dar pé
Not always will the water be shallow enough to stand

Nem sempre um santo vai ter fé
Not always will a saint have faith

Mas Sofia, acredite em mim
But Sofia, believe me

O sol nasce com promessa
The sun rises with a promise

De uma vida sem pressa
Of a life without rush

Viva agora e nunca pense no fim
Live now and never think about the end
