Ficam as imitações
Imitations remain
Esquecem os originais
The originals are forgotten
Jazz, pop, fado, rock
Jazz, pop, fado, rock
Os diferentes são iguais
The different ones are the same
Se é difícil passa à frente
If it's difficult, move on
Não há tempo vai tangente
There's no time, go tangent
Segue o barco na corrente
Follow the boat in the current
Quando a américa manda
When America commands
Karaoke não cansa
Karaoke doesn't get tiring
Quando sentes a cópia
When you feel the copy
Do artista da moda
Of the trendy artist
Mas se é p'ra dançar, dança
But if it's to dance, dance
Tão familiar, dança
So familiar, dance
Soa tudo igual, dança
Everything sounds the same, dance
Dá p'ra não pensar, dança
You can not think, dance
Karaoke não cansa
Karaoke doesn't get tiring
Parece que já ouvi
It seems I've already heard
Os acordes da canção
The chords of the song
Parece que já senti
It seems I've already felt
Tal e qual esta emoção
Exactly this emotion
Se o artista fecha os olhos
If the artist closes their eyes
É porque é do coração
It's because it's from the heart
Talvez seja sentimento
Maybe it's feeling
Talvez seja televisão
Maybe it's television
Quando a américa manda
When America commands
Karaoke não cansa
Karaoke doesn't get tiring
Quando sentes a cópia
When you feel the copy
Do artista da moda
Of the trendy artist
Mas se é p'ra dançar, dança
But if it's to dance, dance
Tão familiar, dança
So familiar, dance
Soa tudo igual, dança
Everything sounds the same, dance
Dá p'ra não pensar, dança
You can not think, dance
Karaoke não cansa
Karaoke doesn't get tiring
Querem fama, facebook
They want fame, Facebook
Insta story, vale tudo
Insta story, anything goes
Vender muito sem desdém
Sell a lot without disdain
#paiemãe
#dadandmom
Pede palmas faz barulho
Ask for applause, make noise
Para esconder a lição
To hide the lesson
Desespero com vaidade
Despair with vanity
Estrela mas sem direção
Star but without direction
Soa tudo igual, deixa
Everything sounds the same, let it
Dá p'ra esquecer, sente
You can forget, feel
Fácil decorar, vende
Easy to memorize, sell
Dá p'ra atordoar, deixa
You can get dazed, let it
Mas se é p'ra dançar, dança
But if it's to dance, dance
Bate palmas e dança
Clap your hands and dance
Se é p'ra dançar, dança
If it's to dance, dance
Bate palmas e dança
Clap your hands and dance
Fecho os olhos já cansa
I close my eyes, it's already tiring
Fecho os olhos já cansa
I close my eyes, it's already tiring
Fecho os olhos já cansa
I close my eyes, it's already tiring
Fecho os olhos já cansa
I close my eyes, it's already tiring
Did you like this lyrics translation?
tangente — tangent
Tangente literally translates to "tangent" in English, as in a line that touches a curve at a single point. It's a word more commonly associated with mathematics than everyday conversation or song lyrics.
In this song, the phrase "vai tangente" (go tangent) is used metaphorically to suggest avoiding direct confrontation or difficulty, urging the listener to "go around" or "skirt" the problem. This unique and somewhat abstract usage makes it an intriguing word choice that stands out.
