Thalab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra não ter que te encarar
Afogo na piscina
Pra você me salvar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Tenho todos que quero
Mas perco o ar quando te vejo
Saio com seus vizinhos
Só pra você me notar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Não me despreze
Eu sou pior que você
Não tenha medo
Eu só quero brincar

The second verse reveals that the singer tries to impress the person by going out with their neighbors, hoping that they will notice them in that way. The singer continuingly stumbles upon the stairs, hoping that the person will catch them, and creates "mil feitiços" or a thousand spells to conquer the person's heart.
Overall, "Away" is a playful and light-hearted song that portrays the early stages of a crush. It showcases how the feeling can make someone go through extreme lengths and take silly risks just to get the person they like to notice them.

Finjo ser invisível
I pretend to be invisible
Pra não ter que te encarar
So I don't have to face you
Afogo na piscina
I drown in the pool
Pra você me salvar
So you can save me
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
I stumble on the stairs so you can catch me

Mas perco o ar quando te vejo
But I lose my breath when I see you
Saio com seus vizinhos
I go out with your neighbors
Só pra você me notar
Just so you will notice me
