Exagerado Lyrics in English Cazuza

Exagerado is Cazuza’s wild love letter to going way over the top. From the first line he proclaims his beloved as the “love of my life from here to eternity,” then showers them with “a thousand stolen roses.” The lyrics pile on confession after confession: lies, mistakes, hunger strikes, even crime become possible sacrifices when passion speaks louder than reason. Cazuza uses hyperbole like a firework display, showing a lover who is literally thrown at someone’s feet, begging to be noticed, living on an all-or-nothing heartbeat.

Behind the flamboyant declarations hides a clever wink. By calling himself “exaggerated” and admitting he “adores an invented love,” Cazuza pokes fun at romantic melodrama while celebrating its delicious thrill. The song captures that Brazilian spirit of entrega—total surrender—yet hints at the danger of letting infatuation run the show. It is a rocking reminder that love can feel huge, reckless, funny, and a little bit scary, all at once.
