Volta Que Dá Tempo Lyrics in English Gaab
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Volta Que Dá Tempo by Gaab from Portuguese to English.
'Cê me chamou de amor
You called me love
No momento que eu te dei prazer
The moment I gave you pleasure
Mas depois 'cê vazou
But then you dipped out
Nem pra esperar amanhecer
Not even to wait for dawn
'Cê me chamou de amor
You called me love
Fez mil planos na hora da brisa
You made a thousand plans when you were high
Mas depois 'cê vazou
But then you dipped out
Na fumaça sumiu da minha vida
In the smoke, you vanished from my life
Como é que eu faço pra te esquecer?
How do I forget you?
Eu 'to passeando pelo mundo inteiro
I'm wandering all over the world
Fico nesse vem e vai, volta e meia o vento traz
I'm in this back and forth, every now and then the wind brings
Toda a saudade junto com seu cheiro
All the longing along with your scent
Quantas vezes eu preciso te dizer
How many times do I need to tell you
Que o coração aqui do maloqueiro
That this street guy's heart
'Tá querendo um lance sério, infinito e sincero?
Is wanting something serious, infinite, and sincere?
E você querendo um lance passageiro
And you wanting something fleeting
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta
Come back, come back
Aproveita enquanto eu 'to te querendo
Take advantage while I still want you
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta
Come back, come back
Aproveita enquanto eu 'to te querendo
Take advantage while I still want you
'Cê me chamou de amor
You called me love
No momento que eu te dei prazer
The moment I gave you pleasure
Mas depois 'cê vazou
But then you dipped out
Nem pra esperar amanhecer
Not even to wait for dawn
'Cê me chamou de amor
You called me love
Fez mil planos na hora da brisa
You made a thousand plans when you were high
Mas depois 'cê vazou
But then you dipped out
Na fumaça sumiu da minha vida
In the smoke, you vanished from my life
Como é que eu faço pra te esquecer?
How do I forget you?
Eu 'to passeando pelo mundo inteiro
I'm wandering all over the world
Fico nesse vem e vai, volta e meia o vento traz
I'm in this back and forth, every now and then the wind brings
Toda a saudade junto com seu cheiro
All the longing along with your scent
Quantas vezes eu preciso te dizer
How many times do I need to tell you
Que o coração aqui do maloqueiro
That this street guy's heart
'Tá querendo um lance sério, infinito e sincero?
Is wanting something serious, infinite, and sincere?
E você querendo um lance passageiro
And you wanting something fleeting
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta
Come back, come back
Aproveita enquanto eu 'to te querendo
Take advantage while I still want you
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta
Come back, come back
Aproveita enquanto eu 'to te querendo
Take advantage while I still want you
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta
Come back, come back
Aproveita enquanto eu 'to te querendo

Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta que dá tempo
Come back, come back, there's still time
Volta, volta
Come back, come back
Aproveita enquanto eu 'to te querendo

Did you like this lyrics translation?
maloqueiro — hoodlum / guy from the favela
Maloqueiro is a Brazilian Portuguese slang term that refers to someone from the 'favela' (slum) or a 'maloca' (shanty/hovel). It can carry connotations of being a 'hoodlum' or 'street kid', but in a more affectionate or self-identifying way within certain contexts.
In this song, the singer uses maloqueiro to describe himself, saying "o coração aqui do maloqueiro" (the heart here of the maloqueiro). It's an interesting and unique word because it grounds the song in a specific cultural and social reality, adding a layer of authenticity and vulnerability to his plea for a serious relationship, contrasting with the common romantic tropes.
