Minha Vida Lyrics in English Lulu Santos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Minha Vida by Lulu Santos from Portuguese to English.
Quando eu era pequeno
When I was little
Eu achava a vida chata
I found life boring
Como não devia ser
As it shouldn't be
Os garotos da escola
The boys at school
Só a fim de jogar bola
Only wanted to play ball
E eu queria ir tocar guitarra na TV
And I wanted to go play guitar on TV
Ai veio a adolescência
Then came adolescence
E pintou a diferença
And the difference emerged
Foi difícil de esquecer
It was hard to forget
A garota mais bonita
The prettiest girl
Também era a mais rica
Was also the richest
Me fazia de escravo do seu belprazer
Made me a slave to her whim
Quando eu sai de casa
When I left home
Minha mãe me disse
My mom told me
Baby, você vai se arrepender
Baby, you're gonna regret it
Pois o mundo lá fora
Because the world out there
Num segundo te devora
Will devour you in a second
Dito e feito
Sure enough
Mas eu não dei o braço a torcer
But I didn't give in
Hoje eu vendo sonhos
Today I sell dreams
Ilusões de romance
Illusions of romance
Te toco, minha vida
I play you, my life
Por um troco qualquer
For any small amount
É o que chamam de destino
It's what they call destiny
E eu não vou lutar com isso
And I won't fight it
Que seja assim enquanto é
Let it be this way while it lasts

Did you like this lyrics translation?
belprazer — whim / pleasure
Belprazer is a somewhat archaic and formal Portuguese word that translates to "whim" or "pleasure," often implying a sense of arbitrary desire or caprice.
In the song, Lulu Santos uses it to describe being at the mercy of a wealthy girl's desires: "Me fazia de escravo do seu belprazer" (She made me a slave to her whim/pleasure). This word adds a touch of dramatic irony and highlights the protagonist's youthful infatuation and subservience, making it a memorable and intriguing choice.
