A Queima Roupa Lyrics in English Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Queima Roupa by Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano from Portuguese to English.
Hoje eu vim aqui falar de coisas
Today I came here to talk about things
Que jamais falei
That I never spoke of
De coisas que talvez você nem vá
About things that maybe you won't even
Gostar de ouvir
Like to hear
Verdades, eu sei, incomodam
Truths, I know, bother
Mas eu vou falar
But I'm going to speak
Ninguém vai tirar de mim
Nobody will take from me
Essa vontade de gritar
This urge to scream
Eu hoje vou dizer
Today I'm going to say
Que muitas vezes me feri
That many times I hurt myself
Pra não te machucar
So as not to hurt you
Que muitas vezes eu chorei
That many times I cried
Pra não te ver chorar
So as not to see you cry
E das vezes que saí e te deixei ficar
And of the times I left and let you stay
Eu hoje vou dizer
Today I'm going to say
Da solidão das noites sem você aqui
Of the loneliness of nights without you here
Do medo, do desejo de te possuir
Of the fear, of the desire to possess you
Da paixão que carreguei
Of the passion I carried
Todo esse tempo
All this time
Sem você aqui
Without you here
Na verdade, esse amor
In truth, this love
Foi a pedra no caminho
Was the stone in the path
Foi o poço que secou
Was the well that dried up
Foi a cama de espinhos
Was the bed of thorns
Foi a rosa que murchou
Was the rose that withered
Foi o sonho
Was the dream
Que marcou a minha vida
That marked my life
Na verdade, esse amor
In truth, this love
Foi um tiro à queima roupa
Was a shot at point-blank range
Foi o pano que rasgou
Was the cloth that tore
Foi menino sem brinquedo
Was a boy without a toy
Foi a Lua que apagou
Was the Moon that went out
Foi o Sol
Was the Sun
Que não brilhou na minha vida
That didn't shine in my life
Verdades, eu sei, incomodam
Truths, I know, bother
Mas eu vou falar
But I'm going to speak
Ninguém vai tirar de mim
Nobody will take from me
Essa vontade de gritar
This urge to scream
Eu hoje vou dizer
Today I'm going to say
Que muitas vezes me feri
That many times I hurt myself
Pra não te machucar
So as not to hurt you
Que muitas vezes eu chorei
That many times I cried
Pra não te ver chorar
So as not to see you cry
E das vezes que saí e te deixei ficar
And of the times I left and let you stay
Eu hoje vou dizer
Today I'm going to say
Da solidão das noites sem você aqui
Of the loneliness of nights without you here
Do medo, do desejo de te possuir
Of the fear, of the desire to possess you
Da paixão que carreguei
Of the passion I carried
Todo esse tempo
All this time
Sem você aqui
Without you here
Na verdade, esse amor
In truth, this love
Foi a pedra no caminho
Was the stone in the path
Foi o poço que secou
Was the well that dried up
Foi a cama de espinhos
Was the bed of thorns
Foi a rosa que murchou
Was the rose that withered
Foi o sonho
Was the dream
Que marcou a minha vida
That marked my life
Na verdade, esse amor
In truth, this love
Foi um tiro à queima roupa
Was a shot at point-blank range
Foi o pano que rasgou
Was the cloth that tore
Foi menino sem brinquedo
Was a boy without a toy
Foi a Lua que apagou
Was the Moon that went out
Foi o Sol
Was the Sun
Que não brilhou na minha vida
That didn't shine in my life

à queima roupa — at point-blank range
À queima roupa literally translates to "at point-blank range," often used in the context of a shot fired from very close proximity. It's a vivid and impactful idiom that isn't commonly found in everyday conversation or every song.
In this song, the phrase is used metaphorically to describe a love that hit the singer with sudden, intense, and devastating force, much like a shot fired at close range. It conveys the idea of an overwhelming and inescapable emotional impact, making it a powerful and memorable expression.
