Quem me vê sempre parado, distante
Who sees me always standing still, far away
Garante que eu não sei sambar
Guarantee that I don't know how to samba
Tou me guardando pra quando o carnaval chegar
I'm saving myself for when carnival arrives
Eu tô só vendo, sabendo, sentindo, escutando
I'm just seeing, knowing, feeling, listening
E não posso falar
And I can't speak
Tou me guardando pra quando o carnaval chegar
I'm saving myself for when carnival arrives
Eu vejo as penas de louça da moça que passa e n!ão posso pegar
I see the china feathers of the girl passing by and I can't catch them
Tou me guardando pra quando o carnaval chegar
I'm saving myself for when carnival arrives
Há quanto tempo desejo seu beijo
How long have I wanted your kiss
Molhado de maracujá
Passion fruit dip
Tou me guardando pra quando o carnaval chegar
I'm saving myself for when carnival arrives
E que me ofende, humilhando, pisando, pensando
And that offends me, humiliating, stepping on, thinking
Que eu vou aturar
That I will put up with
Tou me guardando pra quando o carnaval chegar
I'm saving myself for when carnival arrives
E quem me vê apanhando da vida duvida que eu vá revidar
And anyone who sees me being beaten by life doubts that I will fight back
Tou me guardando pra quando o carnaval chegar
I'm saving myself for when carnival arrives
Eu vejo a barra do dia surgindo, pedindo pra gente cantar
I see the bar of the day appearing, asking us to sing
Tou me guardando pra quando o carnaval chegar
I'm saving myself for when carnival arrives
Eu tenho tanta alegria, adiada, abafada, quem dera gritar
I have so much joy, postponed, muffled, I wish I could scream
Tou me guardando pra quando o carnaval chegar
I'm saving myself for when carnival arrives
