Below, I translated the lyrics of the song João by Jão from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Respondo qualquer coisa quando entro num encontro de amigos
I answer anything when I enter a gathering of friends
E perguntam onde você 'tá
And they ask where you are
E eu falo que te acometeu doença, que sua mãe 'tá na cidade
And I say that you were struck by illness, that your mother is in town
A verdade é que brigamos ontem e você
The truth is that we fought yesterday and you
Pegou o carro aos prantos, jurando não me ver mais nunca
Took the car in tears, swearing not to see me ever again
Eu minto pras pessoas, pois não sei justificar
I lie to people, because I don't know how to justify
Nossa loucura para os outros, amanhã tudo está brando
Our madness to others, tomorrow everything will be mild
Mas é um ciclo em que iremos perdurar
But it's a cycle that we will endure
Talvez seja a hora de abandonar os planos
Maybe it's time to abandon the plans
E nos dar algum descanso definitivo
And give ourselves some definitive rest
Trocar por ponto as vírgulas, contar para as famílias
Swap commas for periods, tell the families
E descartar os nomes que pensamos para os nossos filhos
And discard the names we thought for our children
Maria, Francisco e o seu que é o meu favorito
Maria, Francisco and yours which is my favorite
E que eu dei ao meu irmão
And that I gave to my brother
Porta retratos do futuro vão esmaecendo aos poucos
Future picture frames are slowly fading
Sob essa decisão
Under this decision
Eu só sei te amar tão mal, perdão
I only know how to love you so badly, forgive me
Eu só sei te amar tão mal, João
I only know how to love you so badly, João
