Selva De Pedra Lyrics in English MC JottaPê

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Selva De Pedra by MC JottaPê from Portuguese to English.
'Tô sentindo um ar de desperdício
I'm feeling a sense of waste
Perder meu tempo contigo já não é mais favorável
Losing my time with you is no longer favorable
Sei que você também sabe disso
I know you know that too
Que eu não sou de compromisso, 'tá ficando insuportável
That I'm not one for commitment, it's getting unbearable
Ela sempre quer mandar em tudo
She always wants to control everything
Esqueceu que eu sou do mundo e não sou tão maleável
She forgot I'm a free spirit and not so flexible
Fui criado na selva de pedra
I was raised in the concrete jungle
Em SP como rei delas e não quero ser mudado
In SP like their king and I don't want to be changed
Esvaziei o meu coração
I emptied my heart
Mais uma dose, enche meu copo
One more shot, fill my glass
Nesse jogo de amor, achei que eu ganhei na loto
In this game of love, I thought I won the lottery
E as piranha já quer foto, já quer dar um jet na moto
And the b*tches already want a photo, already want a ride on the bike
E os bico quer virar sócio, mas eu não faço negócio
And the haters want to be partners, but I don't do business
'Cê 'tá com ódio, 'cê 'tá com ódio
You're hating, you're hating
Quer pular uma episódio
You want to skip an episode
Esqueceu de batalhar e já quer subir no pódio
You forgot to fight and already want to get on the podium
'Tá andando na contramão a 200 por hora de um jeito absurdo
You're driving against traffic at 200 per hour in an absurd way
Só 'tá pensando no lucro, já se perdeu nesse mundo
You're only thinking about profit, you've already lost yourself in this world
Yeah yeah (pensando no lucro, pensando no lucro)
Yeah yeah (thinking about profit, thinking about profit)
Só 'tá pensando no lucro, já se perdeu nesse mundo
You're only thinking about profit, you've already lost yourself in this world
Yeah yeah, yo, yo
Yeah yeah, yo, yo
Tem que ser pra querer pá, tem que ter pra nois trocar
You gotta be it to want it, you gotta have it for us to trade
Aprendi dialogar, tu quer 'tá no meu lugar
I learned to communicate, you want to be in my place
Não adianta invejar, hoje eu vim pra somar
There's no point envying, today I came to contribute
Olha como é que nóis 'tá, desfrutando o nível A
Look at us, enjoying the A-level
Tem que ser pra querer pá, tem que ter pra nois trocar
You gotta be it to want it, you gotta have it for us to trade
Aprendi dialogar, tu quer 'tá no meu lugar
I learned to communicate, you want to be in my place
Não adianta invejar, hoje eu vim pra somar
There's no point envying, today I came to contribute
Olha como é que nóis 'tá, desfrutando o nível A
Look at us, enjoying the A-level
Tem que ser pra querer pá, tem que ter pra nois trocar
You gotta be it to want it, you gotta have it for us to trade
Aprendi dialogar, tu quer 'tá no meu lugar
I learned to communicate, you want to be in my place
Não adianta invejar
There's no point envying
Olha como é que nóis 'tá, desfrutando o nível A
Look at us, enjoying the A-level
Desfrutando a classe A, desfrutando a classe A
Enjoying the A-class, enjoying the A-class
JD, DJ Loirinho
JD, DJ Loirinho
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Desfrutando a classe A
Enjoying the A-class

Did you like this lyrics translation?

maleável — malleable

Maleável translates to "malleable" or "flexible". It's an interesting word because it's not commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.

In the context of "Selva de Pedra", the artist uses it to assert his independence and strong character, stating, "Esqueceu que eu sou do mundo e não sou tão maleável" (She forgot that I'm from the world and I'm not so malleable). This highlights his refusal to be controlled or easily influenced, emphasizing his street-hardened identity from the "concrete jungle" (selva de pedra).
