Não Vale A Pena Lyrics in English Maria Rita
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Não Vale A Pena by Maria Rita from Portuguese to English.
Ficou difícil
It got difficult
Tudo aquilo, nada disso
All that, none of this
Sobrou meu velho vício de sonhar
All that was left was my old habit of dreaming
Pular de precipício em precipício
Jumping from precipice to precipice
Ossos do ofício
Part of the job
Pagar pra ver o invisível
Paying to see the invisible
E depois enxergar
And then to see
Que é uma pena
That it's a shame
Mas você não vale a pena
But you're not worth it
Não vale uma fisgada dessa dor
Not worth a single pang of this pain
Não cabe como rima de um poema
Doesn't fit as a rhyme in a poem
De tão pequeno
Because you're so insignificant
Mas vai e vem e envenena
But it comes and goes and poisons
E me condena ao rancor
And condemns me to resentment
De repente, cai o nível
Suddenly, I stoop so low
E eu me sinto uma imbecil
And I feel like an imbecile
Repetindo, repetindo, repetindo
Repeating, repeating, repeating
Como num disco riscado
Like a scratched record
O velho texto batido
The same old tired story
Dos amantes mal-amados
Of the unloved lovers
Dos amores mal-vividos
Of the loves badly lived
E o terror de ser deixada
And the terror of being left
Cutucando, relembrando, reabrindo
Poking, remembering, reopening
A mesma velha ferida
The same old wound
E é pra não ter recaída
And it's so I don't relapse
Que não me deixo esquecer
That I don't let myself forget
Que é uma pena
That it's a shame
Mas você não vale a pena
But you're not worth it
