Get Out Of Town Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Get Out Of Town by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Get out of town
Get out of town
Before it's too late, my love
Before it's too late, my love
Get out of town
Get out of town
Be good to me please
Be good to me please
Why wish me harm?
Why wish me harm?
Why not retire to a farm
Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm
And be contented to charm
The birds off the trees
The birds off the trees
Just disappear
Just disappear
I care for you much too much
I care for you much too much
And when you're near, close to me dear
And when you're near, close to me dear
We touch too much
We touch too much
The thrill when we meet is so bittersweet
The thrill when we meet is so bittersweet
That darling, it's getting me down
That darling, it's getting me down
So on your mark get set
So on your mark get set
Get out of town
Get out of town

Did you like this lyrics translation?

contented — satisfeito

The word "contented" (satisfeito in Portuguese) is an interesting choice because it evokes a sense of peace and satisfaction, contrasting with the song's theme of urging someone to leave.

The singer suggests the person retire to a farm "and be contented to charm the birds off the trees." This phrase paints a vivid, almost whimsical picture of a simpler, happier existence away from the current complicated relationship, making the word memorable and thought-provoking.
