Dizes Que Gostas De Mim Lyrics in English Pedro Abrunhosa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dizes Que Gostas De Mim by Pedro Abrunhosa from Portuguese to English.
Prometeram-me um futuro
They promised me a future
E eu sem querer acreditei
And I, unintentionally, believed
Comprar a vida sem juros
To buy life without interest
Ser dono do Cristo-Rei
To own the Cristo-Rei
Vou usar jeans e gravata
I'll wear jeans and a tie
E um Ferrari amarelo
And a yellow Ferrari
Um dia vou ser político
One day I'll be a politician
Ou talvez super-modelo
Or maybe a supermodel
A vida é um telecomando
Life is a remote control
Eu sou o 5º canal
I am the 5th channel
Sou todos os sonhos perdidos
I am all the lost dreams
Por isso viva Portugal!
So long live Portugal!
E agora o que vai ser de mim?
And now what will become of me?
Será que vai ser sempre assim?
Will it always be like this?
Hoje vi mais um concurso
Today I saw another contest
De estrelas de rock´n roll
Of rock'n roll stars
De certezas e proezas
Of certainties and feats
Sexo, droga e futebol!
Sex, drugs, and football!
À noite na discoteca
At night in the disco
Os shots falam verdade
The shots speak the truth
Afinal para que serviram
After all, what were they good for
Dez anos de Faculdade?
Ten years of University?
A vida é um telecomando
Life is a remote control
Eu sou o 5º canal
I am the 5th channel
Sou todos os sonhos perdidos
I am all the lost dreams
Por isso viva Portugal!
So long live Portugal!
Refrão
Chorus
Dez milhões de sonhadores
Ten million dreamers
E ninguém fala dos seus
And nobody talks about theirs
Todos têm telemóvel
Everyone has a cell phone
Com rede directa a Deus
With a direct line to God
Olho os outros no shopping
I look at others in the shopping mall
E vejo-me a mim também
And I see myself too
Sem saber que o conformismo
Without knowing that conformism
É sempre o poder de alguém
Is always someone's power
A vida é um telecomando
Life is a remote control
Eu sou o 5º canal
I am the 5th channel
Sou todos os sonhos perdidos
I am all the lost dreams
Por isso viva Portugal!
So long live Portugal!

Did you like this lyrics translation?

telecomando — remote control

Telecomando literally translates to "remote control". It's an interesting word choice because it's not as common in everyday Portuguese as "controlo remoto", making it stand out.

In the song, the lyric "A vida é um telecomando, Eu sou o 5º canal" (Life is a remote control, I am the 5th channel) uses this word metaphorically. It suggests a feeling of being controlled or passively observing life, rather than actively participating, as if life is dictating the channels and the singer is just one of them. This unique imagery makes the word memorable and thought-provoking.
