Lyrics in Portuguese
Pra que mentir
Fingir que perdoou
Tentar ficar amigos sem rancor
A emoção acabou
Que coincidência é o amor
A nossa música nunca mais tocou
Pra que usar de tanta educação
Pra destilar terceiras intenções
Desperdiçando o meu mel
Devagarzinho, flor em flor
Entre os meus inimigos, beija-flor
Eu protegi teu nome por amor
Em um codinome, Beija-flor
Não responda nunca, meu amor
Pra qualquer um na rua, Beija-flor
Que só eu que podia
Dentro da tua orelha fria
Dizer segredos de liquidificador
Você sonhava acordada
Um jeito de não sentir dor
Prendia o choro e aguava o bom do amor
Prendia o choro e aguava o bom do amor
English Translation
Why lying,
Pretend to forgive?
Try to be friends with no bad feelings?
The emotion is gone
What a coincidence is love
Our music was never played again
Why to use this much manners
To distill third intentions
Wasting all my honey,
Slowly, flower in flower
To my enemies, hummingbird
I protected your name for love
In a codename, hummingbird
Never answer, my love
For anyone on the streets, hummingbird
That I was the only one who could
Inside your cold ear
To tell blender secrets
You dreamed awake
In a way of not feeling pain
Held your cry and watered the good of love
Held your cry and watered the good of love
