Vens ao meu quarto de hotel
You come to my hotel room
Sem te anunciares sequer
Not even announcing yourself
Com certeza esqueceste que és
Surely you've forgotten that you are
Que és uma senhora
That you are a lady
Vejo-te andar de tailleur
I see you walk in a tailored suit
Atravessando a novela
Crossing through the drama
Sentes prazer em falar
You find pleasure in talking
De sentimentos de outrora
About feelings from days gone by
Deito-me no canapé
I lie down on the couch
Não sem antes abrir a janela
Not before I open the window
E ver tuas palavras ao léu
And see your words drifting in the air
Jogas conversa fora
You just throw empty talk
Sabes que estive a teus pés
You know I've been at your feet
Sei que serás sempre aquela
I know you'll always be that one
Pretendes me complicar
You intend to complicate things for me
Mas passou a nossa hora
But our time has passed
Não me incomodo que fumes
I don't mind if you smoke
Podes mesmo te servir à vontade do meu frigobar
You can help yourself to my fridge as you please
Ou levar um souvenir
Or take a souvenir with you
Dispõe do meu telefone
Feel free to use my phone
Desejando, ligar o interurbano pra qualquer lugar
Wishing to dial long-distance to anywhere
E apaga a luz ao sair
And you turn off the light when you leave
Quando eu pensava em dormir
When I thought about sleeping
Tu chegas vestida de negro
You arrive dressed in black
Vens decidida a bulir
You come determined to stir things up
Com quem está posto em sossego
With those who are settled in peace
Entras com ares de atriz
You enter with the airs of an actress
Sabes que sou da platéia
You know I’m in the audience
Deves pensar que ando louco
You must think I'm going crazy
Louco pra mudar de idéia, não?
Crazy to change my mind, right?
Pensas que não sou feliz
You think I’m not happy
Entras com roupa de estréia
You come in dressed to impress
Deves saber que ando louco
You must know I’m going crazy
Louco pra mudar de idéia
Crazy to change my mind
Vens ao meu quarto de hotel
You come to my hotel room
Sem te anunciares sequer
Without even announcing yourself
Com certeza esqueceste que és
Surely you forgot who you are
Que és uma senhora
That you are a lady
Vejo-te andar de tailleur
I see you walking in a suit
Atravessando a novela
Crossing through the drama
Sentes prazer em falar
You take pleasure in speaking
De sentimentos de outrora
About feelings of the past
Deito-me no canapé
I lay down on the couch
Não sem antes abrir a janela
But not before opening the window
E ver tuas palavras ao léu
And seeing your words in the air
Jogas conversa fora
You throw around casual talk
Sabes que estive a teus pés
You know I was at your feet
Sei que serás sempre aquela
I know you'll always be that one
Pretendes me complicar
You intend to complicate me
Mas passou a nossa hora
But our time has passed
Não me incomodo que fumes
I don't mind that you smoke
Podes mesmo te servir à vontade do meu frigobar
You can really help yourself to my fridge
Ou levar um souvenir
Or take a souvenir
Dispõe do meu telefone
Feel free to use my phone
Desejando, ligar o interurbano pra qualquer lugar
Wishing to make a long-distance call anywhere
E apaga a luz ao sair
And turn off the light when you leave
Quando eu pensava em dormir
When I was thinking about sleeping
Tu chegas vestida de negro
You arrive dressed in black
Vens decidida a bulir
You come determined to stir things up
Com quem está posto em sossego
With whoever is at peace
Entras com ares de atriz
You enter with the airs of an actress
Sabes que sou da platéia
You know I'm in the audience
Deves pensar que ando louco
You must think I'm going crazy
Louco pra mudar de idéia, não?
Crazy to change my mind, right?
Pensas que não sou feliz
You think I'm not happy
Entras com roupa de estréia
You come in like it's your premiere
Deves saber que ando louco
You must know I'm going mad
Louco pra mudar de idéia
Mad to change my mind
