These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Eu nunca sonhei com você
I never dreamed of you
Nunca fui ao cinema
I never went to the cinema
Não gosto de samba
I don't like samba
Não vou a Ipanema
I'm not going to Ipanema
Não gosto de chuva
I don't like rain
Nem gosto de sol
I don't even like the sun
E quando eu lhe telefonei
And when I called you
Desliguei, foi engano
I hung up, it was a mistake
O seu nome eu não sei
I don't know your name
Esqueci no piano
I forgot on the piano
As bobagens de amor
The nonsense of love
Que eu iria dizer
What would I say
Não, Ligia, Ligia
No, Ligia, Ligia
Eu nunca quis tê-la ao meu lado
I never wanted to have her by my side
Num fim de semana
On a weekend
Um chope gelado
An ice cold draft beer
Em Copacabana
In Copacabana
Andar pela praia até o Leblon
Walk along the beach to Leblon
E quando eu me apaixonei
And when I fell in love
Não passou de ilusão
It was nothing more than an illusion
O seu nome rasguei
I tore your name
Fiz um samba-canção
I did a samba-canção
Das mentiras de amor
Of the lies of love
Que aprendi com você
What I learned from you
Ligia, Ligia
Ligia, Ligia
E quando você me envolver
And when you involve me
Nos seus braços serenos
In your serene arms
Eu vou me render
I will surrender
Mas seus olhos morenos
But your dark eyes
Me metem mais medo
They make me more scared
Que um raio de sol Ligia, Ligia
What a ray of sunshine Ligia, Ligia
