Quase um ano faz que eu tenho muita paz
It's been almost a year that I've had so much peace
Quase um ano tem e tudo muito bem
Almost a year now and everything's just fine
E se eu não voltar não vá se preocupar
And if I don't come back, don't you worry
Todo mundo tem direito de mudar
Everyone has the right to change
Que bandeira que você deu
What flag did you raise?
Que bandeira, não me entendeu
What flag, you didn’t understand me
Caretice tua chorar
Your foolishness makes you cry
De maneira aqui pra brigar
No way am I here to fight
Eu não voltei
I didn’t come back
E eu não voltei, porque agora eu sei
And I didn’t come back, 'cause now I know
Naquele papel eu ia pro pinel
In that paper, I was going crazy
E se alguém disser que eu me desmontei?
And if someone says I've fallen apart?
Sou dono de mim e faço o que quiser
I'm my own master, I do what I want
Que bandeira que você deu
What flag did you raise?
Que bandeira, não me entendeu
What flag, you didn't understand me
Caretice tua chorar
It's silly of you to cry
Caretice tua brigar
It's silly of you to fight
Sigo te querendo, te cantando
I keep wanting you, singing to you
Procurando uma desculpa, te querendo mais
Looking for an excuse, wanting you more
Sigo te cantando, te querendo
I keep singing to you, wanting you
Procurando uma desculpa, te cantando mais
Looking for an excuse, singing to you more
Sigo procurando uma desculpa, te querendo
I keep searching for an excuse, wanting you
Te cantando, te querendo mais
Singing to you, wanting you more
Sigo procurando uma cantada, te querendo
I keep looking for a pickup line, wanting you
Me desculpe, te cantando mais
I'm sorry, singing to you more
Tô sabendo de você, tô sabendo, pode crer!
I know about you, I know, you can believe it!
Quase um ano faz que eu tenho muita paz
It's been almost a year that I’ve had a lot of peace
Quase um ano tem e tudo muito bem
It's been almost a year and everything's just fine
E se eu não voltar não vá se preocupar
And if I don't come back, don't you worry
Todo mundo tem direito de mudar
Everyone has the right to change
Que bandeira que você deu
What a signal you gave
Que bandeira, não me entendeu
What a signal, you didn't understand me
Caretice tua chorar
Your foolishness to cry
De maneira aqui pra brigar
In such a way to fight here
Eu não voltei
I didn't come back
E eu não voltei, porque agora eu sei
And I didn't come back, because now I know
Naquele papel eu ia pro pinel
On that paper, I was going crazy
E se alguém disser que eu me desmontei?
And if someone says that I fell apart?
Sou dono de mim e faço o que quiser
I'm the master of myself and do what I want
Que bandeira que você deu
What a signal you gave
Que bandeira, não me entendeu
What a flag, you didn't understand me
Caretice tua chorar
Your foolishness to cry
Caretice tua brigar
Your foolishness to fight
Que bandeira que você deu
What a flag that you raised
Que bandeira, não me entendeu
What a flag, you didn't understand me
Caretice tua chorar
Your foolishness to cry
Caretice tua brigar
Your foolishness to fight
Que bandeira que você deu
What a flag that you raised
Que bandeira, não me entendeu...
What a flag, you didn't understand me...
