Menina Estranha Lyrics in English Restart

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Menina Estranha by Restart from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I met a different kind of girl
I fell in love and it happened so suddenly
I never thought I could like
A girl who only knows how to snub me
And she's already in college while I'm here
Learning how to drive
I don't even know if I'll graduate
And she says that a little guy like this
Who just wants to have fun
Will never win you over
She doesn't like my clothes
She's always talking about my hair
She always complains about my weird way of talking
But when she kisses my mouth
She loses her head and goes crazy
It's just a matter of time till you give in
Verse 2
I met a different kind of girl
I fell in love and it happened so suddenly
I never thought I could like
A girl who only knows how to snub me
And she's already in college while I'm here
Learning how to drive
I don't even know if I'll graduate
And she says that a little guy like this
Who just wants to have fun
Will never win you over
And she doesn't like my clothes
She's always talking about my hair
She always complains about my weird way of talking
But when she kisses my mouth
She loses her head and goes crazy
It's just a matter of time till you give in
She doesn't like my clothes
She's always talking about my hair
She always complains about my weird way of talking
But when she kisses my mouth
She loses her head and goes crazy
It's just a matter of time till you date me

SONG MEANING

“Menina Estranha” is a playful pop-rock tale about falling head-over-heels for someone who seems completely out of reach. The singer meets a very different girl: she is older, already in college, cultured and critical, while he is still learning to drive and unsure if he will even graduate. She teases his clothes, his hair and his laid-back slang, acting like he has no chance. Yet her cool façade melts the instant they kiss, hinting that her feelings might be stronger than she admits.

Behind the upbeat guitars shines a message of youthful optimism. The lyrics celebrate being unapologetically yourself, trusting that real chemistry will outshine social status or appearance. Although the girl keeps “esnobando” (snubbing) him, the singer is convinced it is only “uma questão de tempo” – a matter of time – before she drops her guard and starts dating him. Listeners are left smiling at the confident underdog who believes that persistence, sincerity and a little bit of rock-and-roll charm can win any strange girl’s heart.
