Bandida
Soulplay Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dizias que era o teu homem
Mas não querias assumir chorei ao te ver partir
E mesmo sabendo que era outro
Deixei meu coração falar sabendo que me ias magoar

Mas tu só falas em problemas e escondes bem a razão
Não mostras essa ilusão p′ra mim
Se tinha o papel principal então o que é que eu fiz de mal

Baby escuta por favor, já não aguento esta dor

Line by Line Meaning

Dizias que era o teu homem
You said he was your man

Mas não querias assumir chorei ao te ver partir
But you didn't want to admit it, I cried when I saw you leave

E mesmo sabendo que era outro
Even though I knew there was another

Deixei meu coração falar sabendo que me ias magoar
I let my heart speak knowing you would hurt me

Mas tu só falas em problemas e escondes bem a razão
But you only talk about problems and hide the reason well

Não mostras essa ilusão p′ra mim
You don't show me that illusion

Se tinha o papel principal então o que é que eu fiz de mal
If I had the leading role, then what did I do wrong?

Baby escuta por favor, já não aguento esta dor
Baby please listen, I can't take this pain anymore
