Tinha cá pra mim
It was here for me
Que agora sim
That now yes
Eu vivia enfim o grande amor
I finally lived the great love
Mentira
Lie
Me atirei assim
I threw myself like this
De trampolim
From trampoline
Fui até o fim, um amador
I went all the way, an amateur
Passava um verão
A summer passed
A água e pão
Water and bread
Dava o meu quinhão pro grande amor
I gave my share to great love
Mentira
Lie
Eu botava a mão
I put my hand
No fogo então
Into the fire then
Com meu coração de fiador
With my heart as a guarantor
Hoje eu tenho apenas uma pedra no meu peito
Today I only have a stone in my chest
Exijo respeito, não sou mais um sonhador
I demand respect, I'm no longer a dreamer
Chego a mudar de calçada
I even change sidewalks
Quando aparece uma flor
When a flower appears
E dou risada do grande amor
And I laugh at the great love
Mentira
Lie
Fui muito fiel
I was very faithful
Comprei anel
I bought a ring
Botei no papel o grande amor
I put the great love on paper
Mentira
Lie
Reservei hotel
I booked a hotel
Sarapatel
Sarapatel
E lua-de-mel em Salvador, Salvador
And honeymoon in Salvador, Salvador
Fui rezar na Sé
I went to pray at the Cathedral
Pra São José
To São José
Que eu levava fé no grande amor
That I had faith in great love
Mentira
Lie
Fiz promessa até
I made a promise
Pra Oxumaré
To Oxumaré
De subir a pé o Redentor
To climb the Redeemer on foot
Hoje eu tenho apenas uma pedra no meu peito
Today I only have a stone in my chest
Exijo respeito, não sou mais um sonhador
I demand respect, I'm no longer a dreamer
Chego a mudar de calçada
I even change sidewalks
Quando aparece uma flor
When a flower appears
E dou risada do grande amor
And I laugh at the great love
Mentira
Lie
Hoje eu tenho apenas uma pedra no meu peito
Today I only have a stone in my chest
Exijo respeito, não sou mais um sonhador
I demand respect, I'm no longer a dreamer
Chego a mudar de calçada
I even change sidewalks
Quando aparece uma flor
When a flower appears
E dou risada do grande amor
And I laugh at the great love
Mentira
Lie
