Só Quero Você Lyrics in English D.a.M.A

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Só Quero Você by D.a.M.A from Portuguese to English.
Eu não sei
I don't know
O que é que te hei-de dar
What I should give you
Nem te sei
I don't even know how to
Inventar frases bonitas
Come up with pretty phrases
Mas aprendi uma ontem
But I learned one yesterday
Só que já me esqueci
But I already forgot
Então olha gosto muito de ti
So, look, I really like you
Sei de alguém
I know someone
Por demais envergonhado
Too shy
Que por ser tão desajeitado
Who, for being so awkward
Nunca foi capaz de falar
Was never able to talk
Só que hoje
But today
Viu o tempo que perdeu
Saw the time he wasted
Sabes que esse alguém sou eu
You know that someone is me
E agora eu vou-te contar
And now I'm going to tell you
Sabes lá
You have no idea
O que é que eu tenho passado
What I've been going through
Estou sempre a fazer-te sinais
I'm always giving you signals
E tu não me tens ligado
And you haven't noticed me
E aqui estou eu
And here I am
A ver o tempo a passar
Watching time pass by
A ver se chega o tempo
Waiting for the time to come
Tempo de te falar
Time to talk to you
Eu não sei
I don't know
O que é que te hei-de dar
What I should give you
Nem te sei
I don't even know how to
Inventar frases bonitas
Come up with pretty phrases
Mas aprendi uma ontem
But I learned one yesterday
Só que já me esqueci
But I already forgot
Então olha só te quero a ti
So, look, I only want you
Podes crer
You can bet
Que à noite o sono é ligeiro
That at night sleep is light
Fico a espera o dia inteiro
I wait all day long
Para poder desabafar
To be able to open up
Mas como sempre
But as always
Chega a hora da verdade
The moment of truth arrives
E falta-me o à vontade
And I lose my confidence
Acabo por me calar
I end up staying silent
Falta-me o jeito
I lack the knack
Ponho-me a escrever e rasgo
I start writing and rip it up
Cada vez a tremer mais
Trembling more each time
E ás vezes até me engasgo
And sometimes I even get choked up
Nada a fazer
Nothing to do
É por isso que eu te conto
That's why I'm telling you
Que É tarde para não dizer
That it's too late not to say
Digo como sei e pronto
I say it how I know and that's it
Eu não sei
I don't know
O que é que te hei-de dar
What I should give you
Nem te sei
I don't even know how to
Inventar frases bonitas
Come up with pretty phrases
Mas aprendi uma ontem
But I learned one yesterday
Só que já me esqueci
But I already forgot
Então olha só te quero a ti
So, look, I only want you
Eu não sei
I don't know
O que é que te hei-de dar
What I should give you
Nem te sei
I don't even know how to
Inventar frases bonitas
Come up with pretty phrases
Mas aprendi uma ontem
But I learned one yesterday
Só que já me esqueci
But I already forgot
Então olha só te quero a ti
So, look, I only want you

desajeitado — clumsy / awkward

Desajeitado means 'clumsy' or 'awkward'. It's a charming and relatable word that perfectly captures a common human experience.

In the song, the singer describes himself as being "por demais envergonhado / Que por ser tão desajeitado / Nunca foi capaz de falar" (too shy / That for being so clumsy / Was never able to speak). This word beautifully conveys his struggle with shyness and his inability to express his feelings, making it a memorable and endearing choice.
