Ela Chora Lyrics in English by Projota
Chiliques is a colloquial and somewhat informal word in Portuguese that refers to tantrums, fits, or dramatic outbursts, often associated with emotional overreactions.
In the song, Projota sings, "Não tenho que aguentar seus chiliques, sua deprê" (I don't have to put up with your tantrums, your depression). This word is interesting because it's not a formal term, but rather a vivid, everyday expression that adds a touch of realism and intimacy to the lyrics, describing the less glamorous aspects of a relationship in a memorable way.
Projota's "Ela Chora" is a really sweet and honest look at being there for someone you love when they're going through a tough time. He starts by describing her crying, but she tells him it's not his fault, saying "não sou eu o motivo do pranto" [I am not the reason for the tears]. He tries to cheer her up, even singing off-key on purpose "Pra ver se eu arranco um sorriso dela" [To see if I can get a smile out of her]. It's clear he's completely devoted to her, even saying he'd "daria o mundo pro meu mundo ser você, menina" [give the world for my world to be you, girl].
What I love about this song is how he acknowledges his own struggles, admitting he's called her "bolado com essa vida" [mad at this life] and even "embriagado sem bebida" [drunk without a drink]. But through it all, she's his constant support: "na subida da minha vida, quem 'tá me ajudando é só você" [on the climb of my life, the only one helping me is you]. He sees her as his solution, even when she's crying and calls him that: "Olha meu olho e me chama de solução" [Looks at my eye and calls me the solution]. He's willing to be strong for her, holding back his own emotions "Porque hoje pra te ver sorrir, preciso bancar o durão" [Because today to see you smile, I need to play the tough guy]. It's a beautiful promise that no matter what, he'll be there to "Te abraçar, te escutar, Te entender" [Hug you, listen to you, understand you].
