Reggae Bom Lyrics in English Lagum
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Reggae Bom by Lagum from Portuguese to English.
Você não precisa fazer o que não quiser
You don't need to do what you don't want
Ninguém veio aqui pra te aplaudir
Nobody came here to applaud you
Não me olhe com esses olhos
Don't look at me with those eyes
De quem nunca me viu antes
Of someone who never saw me before
Antes mesmo eu já estive aqui
I've already been here before
Talvez seja cedo demais
Maybe it's too early
Sair antes do sol sair
To leave before the sun comes out
E eu não tenho medo, não mais
And I'm not afraid anymore
De ficar aqui
To stay here
Diz que vai voltar
Say you'll come back
Traz contigo aquele reggae bom
Bring that good reggae with you
Diz que vai voltar
Say you'll come back
Mas não vou ficar parado, amor
But I won't stand still, love
Esperando 'cê chegar
Waiting for you to arrive
Você não precisa fazer o que não quiser
You don't need to do what you don't want
Ninguém veio aqui pra te aplaudir
Nobody came here to applaud you
Não me olhe com esses olhos
Don't look at me with those eyes
De quem nunca me viu antes
Of someone who never saw me before
Antes mesmo eu já estive aqui
I've already been here before
Talvez seja cedo demais
Maybe it's too early
Sair antes do sol sair
To leave before the sun comes out
E eu não tenho medo, não mais
And I'm not afraid anymore
De ficar aqui
To stay here
Diz que vai voltar
Say you'll come back
Traz contigo aquele reggae bom
Bring that good reggae with you
Diz que vai voltar (Diz que vai voltar)
Say you'll come back (Say you'll come back)
Mas não vou ficar parado, amor
But I won't stand still, love
Esperando 'cê chegar aqui
Waiting for you to get here
Diz que vai voltar
Say you'll come back
Traz contigo aquele reggae bom
Bring that good reggae with you
Diz que vai voltar (Diz que vai voltar)
Say you'll come back (Say you'll come back)
Mas não vou ficar parado, amor
But I won't stand still, love
Esperando 'cê chegar aqui
Waiting for you to get here

Did you like this lyrics translation?
aplaudir — to applaud
Aplaudir means "to applaud" or "to clap". It's an interesting verb that isn't as common in everyday conversation or song lyrics as more basic verbs.
In the context of "Reggae Bom", the line "Ninguém veio aqui pra te aplaudir" (Nobody came here to applaud you) sets a tone of authenticity and self-reliance. It suggests that one shouldn't seek external validation, but rather live for themselves, making it a thought-provoking word choice.
