Tententender Lyrics in English ANAVITÓRIA
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tententender by ANAVITÓRIA from Portuguese to English.
Se eu disser que vi rastejar
If I say I saw crawling
A sombra do avião feito cobra no chão
The shadow of the plane like a snake on the ground
Tent'entender a minha alegria
Try to understand my joy
A sombra mostrou o que a luz escondia
The shadow showed what the light was hiding
Se eu quiser ser mais direto
If I want to be more direct
Vou me perder melhor deixar quieto
I'll get lost, better leave it alone
Tent'entender, tent'enxergar
Try to understand, try to see
O meu olhar pela janela do avião
My gaze through the plane's window
Que amor era esse
What kind of love was this
Que não saiu do chão?
That didn't leave the ground?
Não saiu do lugar
It didn't go anywhere
Só fez rastejar o coração
It only made the heart crawl
Se eu disser que tive na mão
If I say I had in my hand
A bola do jogo, não acredite
The game ball, don't believe it
Tent'entender minha ironia
Try to understand my irony
Se eu disser que já sabia
If I say I already knew
O jogo acabou de repente
The game ended suddenly
O céu desabou sobre a gente
The sky collapsed on us
Tent'entender, quero abrigo
Try to understand, I want shelter
E não consigo ser mais direto
And I can't be more direct
Que amor era esse
What kind of love was this
Que não saiu do chão?
That didn't leave the ground?
Não saiu do lugar
It didn't go anywhere
Só fez rastejar o coração
It only made the heart crawl

Did you like this lyrics translation?
rastejar — to crawl / to slither
Rastejar means "to crawl" or "to slither." It's an evocative verb that paints a vivid picture of movement close to the ground.
In "Tententender," the word is used metaphorically to describe a shadow moving like a snake, and later, a heart that only "crawled" instead of soaring with love. This imagery creates a sense of stagnation and unfulfilled potential, making it a powerful and memorable word in the context of the song's emotional landscape.
