Ficar óai
Stay oh-oh
Ficar óai contigo
Stay oh-oh with you
Meu amor
My love
Eu vi passar, eu vi passar uma andorinha
I saw a swallow pass, I saw a swallow pass
Acho que veio, acho que veio anunciar a primavera
I think it came, I think it came to announce spring
Ou dizer que um dia tu hás-de ser minha
Or to say that one day you'll be mine
Eu fico aqui a vida inteira à tua espera
I'll stay here my whole life waiting for you
Eu juro que contigo amor
I swear that with you, love
Faço tudo por amor
I do everything for love
Dou-te o meu coração
I give you my heart
Eu dou-te tudo
I give you everything
Eu juro que contigo amor
I swear that with you, love
Só paro no altar mulher
I only stop at the altar, woman
Por ti eu vou até ao fim do mundo
For you, I'll go to the end of the world
Já a minha mãe dizia ganha alento
My mother already used to say, take courage
Para me endireitar
To get myself right
E virar de um namorico, casamento
And turn a fling into marriage
Eu vou tentar
I'll try
Amor da minha vida, tudo aquilo que eu quero
Love of my life, all I want
É ficar óai
Is to stay oh-oh
É ficar óai
Is to stay oh-oh
Contigo
With you
Oi-óai
Oh-oh
Oai o larai oai oai, olarai meu bem
Oh-oh oh larai oh-oh, olarai my dear
Oai-oai
Oh-oh
Olarilolela
Olarilolela
Ficar contigo
To stay with you
Oai-oai, oi-oai, oai o larai oai oai, olarai meu bem
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh larai oh-oh, olarai my dear
Oai-oai
Oh-oh
Olarilolela
Olarilolela
Amor tu sabes que eu nunca dei para ser doctor
Love, you know I was never cut out to be a doctor
Nem sou jardineiro, mas vou cuidar de ti, minha flor
Nor am I a gardener, but I'll take care of you, my flower
E desse coração bonito
And of that beautiful heart
Pôr um sorriso nessa carinha laroca
To put a smile on that pretty little face
Dás trabalho, mas eu nunca estou de folga, amor
You're a lot of work, but I'm never off duty, love
Ando a juntar para o teu anel
I'm saving up for your ring
Eu juro que contigo amor
I swear that with you, love
Faço tudo por amor
I do everything for love
Dou-te o meu coração
I give you my heart
Eu dou-te tudo
I give you everything
Eu juro que contigo amor
I swear that with you, love
Só paro no altar mulher
I only stop at the altar, woman
Por ti eu vou até ao fim do mundo
For you, I'll go to the end of the world
Já a minha mãe dizia ganha alento
My mother already used to say, take courage
Para me endireitar
To get myself right
E virar de um namorico, casamento
And turn a fling into marriage
Eu vou tentar
I'll try
Amor da minha vida tudo aquilo que eu quero
Love of my life, all I want
É ficar óai
Is to stay oh-oh
É ficar óai
Is to stay oh-oh
Contigo
With you
Oi-óai
Oh-oh
Oai o larai oai oai, olarai meu bem
Oh-oh oh larai oh-oh, olarai my dear
Oai-oai
Oh-oh
Olarilolela
Olarilolela
Ficar contigo
To stay with you
Oai-oai, oi-oai, oai o larai oai oai, olarai meu bem
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh larai oh-oh, olarai my dear
Oai-oai
Oh-oh
Olarilolela
Olarilolela
Eu vou ficar
I'm going to stay
Oai-oai, oi-oai
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Eu vou ficar
I'm going to stay

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Eu vou ficar
I'm going to stay

Did you like this lyrics translation?
óai — oh-why / hey-there
Óai is a very interesting and somewhat unique interjection in Portuguese, particularly in this song. It doesn't have a direct, single-word translation, but functions similarly to an exclamation like "oh-why" or "hey-there" in English, often used to express a plea, a call, or a longing.
In the context of "Ficar Óai," it's used repeatedly as a melodic and rhythmic filler, almost like a vocalization of yearning or a playful call to the beloved. It's not a standard dictionary word but rather a colloquial, almost onomatopoeic expression that adds a distinct flavor and memorability to the song's title and chorus, making it intriguing for learners.
