Esta Canção Lyrics in English Lulu Santos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Esta Canção by Lulu Santos from Portuguese to English.
Eu lhe fiz esta canção
I made you this song
Para lhe pedir perdão
To ask you for forgiveness
Tenho sido tão vão
I've been so vain
Na procura insana
In the insane search
Por gratificação
For gratification
Pode dar a impressão
It might give the impression
Mas de fato não
But actually not
Eu não faço a menor força
I don't make the slightest effort
Pra nada disto rimar
To make any of this rhyme
Mas eu ando tão fraco
But I'm so weak
Não queria que você me visse
I didn't want you to see me
Tão fraco
So weak
Mas na verdade eu não quero lhe enganar
But actually I don't want to deceive you
Eu lhe fiz esta canção
I made you this song
Para lhe pedir perdão
To ask you for forgiveness
Tenho sido tão vão
I've been so vain
Na procura insana
In the insane search
Por gratificação
For gratification
Pode dar a impressão
It might give the impression
Mas de fato não
But actually not
Eu não faço a menor força
I don't make the slightest effort
Pra nada disto rimar
To make any of this rhyme
Mas eu ando tão fraco
But I'm so weak
Não queria que você me visse
I didn't want you to see me
Tão fraco
So weak
Mas na verdade eu não quero lhe enganar
But actually I don't want to deceive you

Did you like this lyrics translation?
insana — insane
Insana translates to "insane" or "mad." It's a strong and evocative word that immediately grabs attention, suggesting a depth of emotion or a state of mind beyond the ordinary.
In the context of the song, Lulu Santos uses it to describe his "procura insana por gratificação" (insane search for gratification). This reveals a self-aware reflection on his past actions, highlighting a desperate or obsessive pursuit that he now recognizes as excessive. It's a key word for understanding the song's theme of seeking forgiveness and acknowledging past mistakes.
