Preciso Lyrics in English Valas
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Preciso by Valas from Portuguese to English.
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Eles dizem, 'Johnny, I know what you need'
They say, "Johnny, I know what you need"
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Mas 'tou tranquilo
But I'm calm
Agradeço o convite
I appreciate the invitation
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Eles dizem, 'Johnny, I know what you need'
They say, "Johnny, I know what you need"
E eu não quero ouvir isso
And I don't want to hear that
Não é preciso
It's not necessary
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Perdido nas próprias palavras
Lost in my own words
Que eu havia escrito
That I had written
Fui sentindo
I was feeling
Que o caminho
That the path
Percorrido tinha perigo
Traveled had danger
E se tivesses onde eu 'tava
And if you were where I was
Já não 'tavas nisto
You wouldn't be in this anymore
Ninguém tinha visto
Nobody had seen
(Ninguém tinha ouvido)
(Nobody had heard)
Então veste a minha pele
So put on my skin
Que essa é fiel á história
Because that one is true to the story
Deixa-me abraçar a vida
Let me embrace life
Como se tivesse nascido agora
As if I had just been born
Ao relax da minha shorty
To my shorty's chill
Dar tranquilidade aos cotas
Give peace to the old folks
Sair dessa dope life
Get out of that dope life
Quase me matava, brother
It almost killed me, brother
Eu não me vou fechar em copas
I won't close myself off
Vou seguir no trilho
I'll follow the path
Porque eles oferecem revolver
Because they offer a revolver
Para puxares gatilho
For you to pull the trigger
Trip tipo queda livre
Trip like a free fall
Eu conheço o ritmo
I know the rhythm
Intenso e sobrevivi
Intense and I survived
Mas, não vou viver dessa forma
But, I won't live that way
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Eles dizem, 'Johnny, I know what you need'
They say, "Johnny, I know what you need"
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Mas 'tou tranquilo
But I'm calm
Agradeço o convite
I appreciate the invitation
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Eles dizem, 'Johnny, I know what you need'
They say, "Johnny, I know what you need"
E eu não quero ouvir isso
And I don't want to hear that
Não é preciso
It's not necessary
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Passei á volta da lua
I went around the moon
Eu morava numa nuvem
I lived on a cloud
Dorava nessa curva
I loved that curve
Adorava essa altura
I loved that height
Era a cura
It was the cure
Não me cobras a saudade
Don't charge me for the longing
Não me deixa levar
Don't let me get carried away
Se um dia eu voltar para trás
If one day I go back
Não é para te encontrar
It's not to find you
É assim que eu faço
That's how I do it
Eu passo
I move on
Obrigado pela atenção
Thanks for the attention
Cada vez com mais cuidado
Each time with more care
Com quem vais esticando a mão
With whom you extend your hand
Uma segunda intenção
A second intention
Tenta mudar o cenário
Tries to change the scenario
Só volto a perder o rumo
I'll only lose my way again
Se leres o livro ao contrário
If you read the book backwards
Voltei a controlar
I'm back in control
E tudo o que é passado
And everything that's past
Agora tanto faz
Now it doesn't matter
O tempo é o que temos
Time is what we have
Não da para recuar
There's no going back
E quem 'ta do meu lado
And whoever's on my side
Não vai olhar para trás
Won't look back
Voltei a controlar
I'm back in control
E tudo o que é passado
And everything that's past
Agora tanto faz
Now it doesn't matter
O tempo é o que temos
Time is what we have
Não da para recuar
There's no going back
E quem 'ta do meu lado
And whoever's on my side
Não vai olhar para trás
Won't look back
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Eles dizem, 'Johnny, I know what you need'
They say, "Johnny, I know what you need"
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Mas 'tou tranquilo
But I'm calm
Agradeço o convite
I appreciate the invitation
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed
Eles dizem, 'Johnny, I know what you need'
They say, "Johnny, I know what you need"
E eu não quero ouvir isso
And I don't want to hear that
Não é preciso
It's not necessary
Eu nem quero saber
I don't even want to know
Já tenho o que é preciso
I already have what's needed

Did you like this lyrics translation?
cotas — elders / old people
Cotas is a Portuguese slang term for 'elders' or 'old people'. It's a more informal and somewhat affectionate way to refer to older individuals, often within a community or family context.
In the song, Valas sings about wanting to "Dar tranquilidade aos cotas" (Give tranquility to the elders). This line highlights a sense of responsibility and care for the older generation, showing a desire to provide peace and comfort to them after experiencing a 'dope life'. It's an interesting word choice that reveals a cultural nuance and a personal journey.
