A Fugir De Ser Lyrics in English Bárbara Tinoco

Home / Lyrics Translation / Bárbara Tinoco / A Fugir De Ser

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Fugir De Ser by Bárbara Tinoco from Portuguese to English.

With us the story's really different

Love songs don't rhyme with us

The timing's all wrong, or we're really stuck

Trying not to be

And winter's really late

Maybe we're just missing that piece

The wind wants to know too, the rain's already heard

That we run from being

I didn't come at a good time, and I can always come back

You tell me the right time, I'll make time till I get there

I didn't come at a good time, and I can always come back

You tell me the right time, I'll make time till I get there

Wanting is being able, just not for us

With us, wanting is just random chance

I lost days thinking, days searching

Trying not to be

We pretend to be busy

So many plans and just one flaw

Both of us against the flow, against each other but in vain

Running from being

I didn't come at a good time, and I can always come back

You tell me the right time, I'll make time till I get there

I didn't come at a good time, I can always come back

You tell me the right time, I'll make time till I get there

I didn't come at a good time, and I can always come back

You tell me the right time, I'll make time till I get there

I didn't come at a good time, I can always come back

You tell me the right time, I'll make time till I get there

Arrive, arrive

Arrive, arrive, arrive

I didn't come at a good time, and I can always come back

You tell me the right time, I'll make time till I get there

SONG MEANING

“A Fugir de Ser” paints a playful yet bittersweet picture of two people who clearly like each other, but whose timing is forever off. Bárbara Tinoco turns the classic love song on its head: instead of rhyming easily with romance, the couple keeps missing the beat. They blame the season, the wind, their busy schedules — anything to avoid admitting that they are simply afraid of letting things happen.

Throughout the lyrics we feel their dance of almost-love. One promises, “Tell me the right time and I’ll wait,” while both pretend to be too occupied to try. The result is a charming portrait of modern relationships, where desire is obvious, yet commitment stays just out of reach. Tinoco’s warm voice wraps this tug-of-war in catchy melodies, turning indecision into a story that listeners can’t help but relate to—and maybe, finally, learn to stop running from who they could be together.
