Quase Sem Querer Lyrics in English Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quase Sem Querer by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
Tenho andado distraído
I've been distracted
Impaciente e indeciso
Impatient and indecisive
E ainda estou confuso
And I'm still confused
Só que agora é diferente
But now it's different
Sou tão tranquilo e tão contente
I'm so calm and so happy
Quantas chances desperdicei
How many chances I wasted
Quando o que eu mais queria
When what I wanted most
Era provar pra todo o mundo
Was to prove to everyone
Que eu não precisava provar nada pra ninguém
That I didn't need to prove anything to anyone
Me fiz em mil pedaços
I broke myself into a thousand pieces
Pra você juntar
For you to put together
E queria sempre achar explicação pro que eu sentia
And I always wanted to find an explanation for what I felt
Como um anjo caído
Like a fallen angel
Fiz questão de esquecer
I made a point of forgetting
Que mentir pra si mesmo é sempre a pior mentira
That lying to yourself is always the worst lie
Mas não sou mais
But I'm not anymore
'Tão criança oh oh
Such a child oh oh
A ponto de saber tudo
To the point of knowing everything
Já não me preocupo se eu não sei por que
I no longer worry if I don't know why
Às vezes, o que eu vejo, quase ninguém vê
Sometimes, what I see, almost nobody sees
E eu sei que você sabe, quase sem querer
And I know that you know, almost unintentionally
Que eu vejo o mesmo que você
That I see the same as you
'Tão correto e 'tão bonito
So right and so beautiful
O infinito é realmente
Infinity is really
Um dos deuses mais lindos
One of the most beautiful gods
Sei que, às vezes, uso
I know that, sometimes, I use
Palavras repetidas
Repeated words
Mas quais são as palavras
But which are the words
Que nunca são ditas?
That are never said?
Me disseram que você
They told me that you
Estava chorando
Were crying
E foi então que eu percebi
And it was then that I realized
Como lhe quero tanto
How much I love you
Já não me preocupo se eu não sei por que
I no longer worry if I don't know why
Às vezes, o que eu vejo, quase ninguém vê
Sometimes, what I see, almost nobody sees
E eu sei que você sabe, quase sem querer
And I know that you know, almost unintentionally
Que eu quero o mesmo que você
That I want the same as you
