Vou ficar a noite em claro sem pegar no sono
I will stay up all night without falling asleep
Meditando sobre o que de fato aconteceu
Meditating on what really happened
Eu até pensei que fosse terminar na cama
I even thought it would end in bed
Como era de costume entre você e eu
As was custom between you and me
Eu fiz de tudo mas era tarde
I did everything but it was too late
Foi o que eu podia dar você não entendeu
It was all I could give, you didn't understand
Eu quis ir fundo e você com medo
I wanted to dive deep and you, scared,
Tirou onda pois agora quem não quer sou eu
Made a joke because now it’s me who doesn’t want
É... Quem não quer sou eu
Yeah... It's me who doesn’t want
Quem não quer sou eu
It's me who doesn’t want
Pois é
Well, yeah
E vai a noite, vem o dia
And the night goes, the day comes
E eu aqui pensando
And I'm here still thinking
Um cigarro atrás do outro
One cigarette after another
E eu fumo sem parar
And I smoke without stopping
Da janela eu vejo o trânsito congestionando
From the window, I see the traffic piling up
No meu peito o coração parece buzinar
In my chest, my heart seems to honk
Eu fiz de tudo mas era tarde
I did everything, but it was too late
Foi o que eu podia dar você não entendeu
It was all I could give, you didn't understand
Eu quis ir fundo e você com medo
I wanted to dive deep, and you were scared
Tirou onda pois agora quem não quer sou eu
You got playful because now it's me who doesn’t want it
É... Quem não quer sou eu
Yeah... It's me who doesn’t want it
Quem não quer sou eu
It's me who doesn’t want it
Pois é...
Well...
Quem não quer sou eu
It's me who doesn’t want it
Quem não quer sou eu
It's me who doesn’t want it
Pois é...
Well...
Vou ficar a noite em claro sem pegar no sono
I'm going to stay up all night without sleeping
Meditando sobre o que de fato aconteceu
Meditating on what really happened
Eu até pensei que fosse terminar na cama
I even thought it would end up in bed
Como era de costume entre você e eu
As was the custom between you and me
Eu fiz de tudo mas era tarde
I did everything but it was too late
Foi o que eu podia dar você não entendeu
It was all I could give, you didn't understand
Eu quis ir fundo e você com medo
I wanted to go deep and you, scared,
Tirou onda pois agora quem não quer sou eu
Threw shade because now I'm the one who doesn't want
É... Quem não quer sou eu
Yeah... I'm the one who doesn't want
Quem não quer sou eu
I'm the one who doesn't want
Pois é...
Well...
Quem não quer sou eu
I'm the one who doesn't want
Pois é...
Well...
Quem não quer sou eu
Who doesn't want me
Pois é...
Well, you know...
