Sozinho Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sozinho by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Às vezes, no silêncio da noite
Sometimes, in the silence of the night
Eu fico imaginando nós dois
I keep imagining us two
Eu fico ali sonhando acordado
I'm there daydreaming
Juntando o antes, o agora e o depois
Putting together the before, the now, and the after
Por que você me deixa tão solto?
Why do you leave me so unattached?
Por que você não cola em mim?
Why don't you stick with me?
'To me sentindo muito sozinho
I'm feeling very alone
Não sou nem quero ser o seu dono
I'm not nor do I want to be your owner
É que um carinho, às vezes, cai bem
It's just that a little affection, sometimes, feels good
Eu tenho os meus segredos e planos
I have my secrets and plans
Secretos, só abro pra você, mais ninguém
Secret ones, I only reveal to you, no one else
Por que você me esquece e some?
Why do you forget me and disappear?
E se eu me interessar por alguém?
And what if I get interested in someone?
E se ela, de repente, me ganha?
And what if she, suddenly, wins me over?
Quando a gente gosta é claro que a gente cuida
When you like someone, it's clear you take care of them
Fala que me ama só que é da boca pra fora
You say you love me but it's just talk
Ou você me engana ou não está madura
Either you're fooling me or you're not mature
Onde está você agora?
Where are you now?
Quando a gente gosta é claro que a gente cuida
When you like someone, it's clear you take care of them
Fala que me ama só que é da boca pra fora
You say you love me but it's just talk
Ou você me engana ou não está madura
Either you're fooling me or you're not mature
Ei, ei, ei
Hey, hey, hey
Onde está você agora?
Where are you now?

Did you like this lyrics translation?
madura — mature
Madura means "mature" and is used here to question the emotional readiness of the person the singer is addressing.
It's an interesting word choice because it directly challenges the partner's emotional state, suggesting they might not be ready for a serious or committed relationship. This adds a layer of depth to the song's theme of unrequited or complicated love, making it more than just a simple love song.
