Xangai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uma vontade sem jeito de te ver agora
Mas não deu certo o coração aguenta
Só na semana que entra
Meu amor não chora
Caí no mundo feito um fugitivo
Como quem fora anos cativo de cadeia
Querendo ter na vida um lenitivo
Dando murro em ponta de faca
Comendo o pão que o diabo nem quis amassar
Mas também tenho o coração dengoso
Que hoje amanheceu queixoso
Querendo amar.

Minha florzinha bateu no meu peito
My little flower beat in my chest
Uma vontade sem jeito de te ver agora
An awkward desire to see you now
Mas não deu certo o coração aguenta
But it didn't work out, the heart can handle it
Só na semana que entra
Only in the coming week
Meu amor não chora
My love, don't cry
Caí no mundo feito um fugitivo
I fell into the world like a fugitive
Como quem fora anos cativo de cadeia
Like someone who had been a prisoner for years
Querendo ter na vida um lenitivo
Wanting to have a relief in life
Na dor o alívio e o mel das abelhas
In pain, the relief and honey of bees
Dando murro em ponta de faca
Hitting a knife's edge
Comendo o pão que o diabo nem quis amassar
Eating the bread that the devil didn't even want to make
Mas também tenho o coração dengoso
But I also have a tender heart
Que hoje amanheceu queixoso
That today woke up complaining
Querendo amar.
Wanting to love.
