Tempo Ao Tempo Lyrics in English by Cristiano Araújo, Jorge & Mateus

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tempo Ao Tempo by Cristiano Araújo from Portuguese to English.
Você já percebeu que quando eu te vejo eu perco o chão (eu perco o chão)
Have you noticed that when I see you I lose my ground (I lose my ground)
Que o simples fato de te ouvir me faz perder toda razão
That the simple fact of hearing you makes me lose all reason
Quando você chega minha mão transpira
When you arrive my hand sweats
Minha mente pira eu já não sei o que fazer
My mind goes crazy, I don't know what to do anymore
Já vi que esse lance 'tá ficando chato
I've seen that this thing is getting annoying
Pois até os meus atos não consigo mais conter
Because I can't contain my actions anymore
Não ligo se você nem 'tá ligando
I don't care if you don't even care
Nem tão pouco se importando
Nor are you minding
Mesmo assim vou te dizer
Even so I'm going to tell you
Já dei tempo ao tempo, mas o tempo não me ajuda
I've given time to time, but time doesn't help me
Se tento te esquecer só faço te querer
If I try to forget you I only end up wanting you
'Tá no meu pensamento sentimento que não muda
It's in my thoughts, a feeling that doesn't change
'To louco pra te ver só quero amar você
I'm dying to see you, I just want to love you
Você já percebeu que quando eu te vejo eu perco o chão (eu perco o chão)
Have you noticed that when I see you I lose my ground (I lose my ground)
E o simples fato de te ouvir me faz perder toda razão
And the simple fact of hearing you makes me lose all reason
Quando você chega minha mão transpira
When you arrive my hand sweats
Minha mente pira eu já não sei o que fazer
My mind goes crazy, I don't know what to do anymore
Já vi que esse lance 'tá ficando chato
I've seen that this thing is getting annoying
Pois até os meus atos não consigo mais conter
Because I can't contain my actions anymore
Não ligo se você nem 'tá ligando
I don't care if you don't even care
Nem tão pouco se importando
Nor are you minding
Mesmo assim vou te dizer
Even so I'm going to tell you
Já dei tempo ao tempo, mas o tempo não me ajuda
I've given time to time, but time doesn't help me
Se tento te esquecer só faço te querer
If I try to forget you I only end up wanting you
'Tá no meu pensamento sentimento que não muda
It's in my thoughts, a feeling that doesn't change
'To louco pra te ver só quero amar você
I'm dying to see you, I just want to love you
Já dei tempo ao tempo, mas o tempo não me ajuda
I've given time to time, but time doesn't help me
'Tá no meu pensamento sentimento que não muda
It's in my thoughts, a feeling that doesn't change
'To louco pra te ver só quero amar você
I'm dying to see you, I just want to love you
Você já percebeu que quando eu te vejo eu perco o chão
Have you noticed that when I see you I lose my ground
É 'tamo cantando junto mais uma vez meu amigo
Yeah, we're singing together one more time my friend
Sempre saudades
Always longing

transpira — perspires

Transpira means 'perspires' or 'sweats'. While seemingly simple, it's a more evocative and less common word in song lyrics than just saying 'sweat'.

In the song, the singer uses it to describe a physical reaction to seeing the object of his affection: "Quando você chega minha mão transpira" (When you arrive, my hand perspires). It vividly conveys the nervousness and intense emotion he feels, making it an interesting and relatable detail for learners.

"Tempo Ao Tempo" is about trying, and failing, to talk yourself out of falling for someone.

The singer tries every trick in the book: giving it time, telling himself he doesn't care, pretending he's not paying attention. None of it works. Every attempt to forget her only makes him think about her more, and by the chorus he gives up the fight completely and admits he just wants to love her.

It's a classic sertanejo take on being helplessly smitten, sung as a duet so both sides of the romance get a voice in it.
