I'M SORRY
Ultraje A Rigor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
But I don't think you could possibly understand me

O que eu sinto é o que você sente
Parecido, mas diferente
Simples, mas você nunca vai entender
Fomos feitos do mesmo jeito

Perna esquerda, braço direito
Mesmo assim você não quer entender

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
But I don't think you could possibly understand me (really don't care, I don't give a damn)

O que eu faço é por um só motivo
Afinal é por ele que eu vivo
É uma pena você não me entender
Corre, pula, fica cansado
Especula, fica agitado
Mas acho que você não pode entender

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
But I don't think you could possibly understand me
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
But I don't think you could possibly understand me (really don't care, I don't give a damn)

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
But I don't think you could possibly understand me (really don't care, I don't give a damn)
I'm sorry

I'm sorry
But I don't think you could possibly understand me
