Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Voltavas by ÁTOA from Portuguese to English.
You talk about me as if you didn't want to know
But if I left, you would start running again
You, you, you, you would start running again
You, you, you, you would start running again
'I don't think about you anymore, I don't like you, I'm fine like this'
So why do you talk about me all the time?
As far as I know, it wasn't me who decided
That it was time to say
'Welcome to our end'
I made mistakes but I didn't give up, I suspected but I never insisted
And even though I thought so
You weren't made for me
You weren't made for me
And even though I thought so
You weren't made for me
You talk about me as if you didn't want to know
But if I left, you would start running again
You, you, you, you would start running again
You, you, you, you would start running again
I see you're all confident
Tonight you're fine but tomorrow
It's different, nah
I've moved on, and you're following me
But sweetie, hurry up
Because I'm not waiting for you
Things have changed in the meantime
And I still think of you, but not as much
And I used to sing just for you but I don't anymore
And you may not be a saint
But I'm not a saint either, nah
Bring little clothing or lipstick, it's just the two of us
Serious conversations can wait
If I used to sing for you, I don't anymore
I don't care about you, what's the surprise?
And even though I thought so
You weren't made for me
You talk about me as if you didn't want to know
But if I left, you would start running again
You, you, you, you would start running again
You, you, you, you would start running again
You talk but I don't understand
And you call but I don't answer
But now it doesn't matter
You only value things when you lose them
And now you're not the one who spends
But I know you still want
And now it doesn't matter
You weren't made for me
You talk about me as if you didn't want to know
But if I left, you would start running again
You, you, you, you would start running again
You, you, you, you would start running again
You talk about me as if you didn't want to know
But if I left, you would start running again
You, you, you, you would start running again
You, you, you, you would start running again
