Galileu Lyrics in English Dillaz
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Galileu by Dillaz from Portuguese to English.
Galileu
Galileo
Galileu
Galileo
Tanta escrita que até o galileu
So much writing that even Galileo
Muitos atiram pedras da calçada
Many throw stones from the sidewalk
Mas todos querem ficar como eu
But everyone wants to be like me
Como eu
Like me
Como eu
Like me
Como eu
Like me
Tu fazes a cara de quem não quer papar mas ficas amuado se como eu
You make a face like you don't want to get it but you get sulky if I do
Quem me deu
Who gave me
Quem me deu
Who gave me
Eu sempre dei tudo a quem me deu
I always gave everything to whoever gave to me
Larga o meu assunto quando ele é privado
Drop my business when it's private
Eu não estico o pescoço para ver o teu
I don't crane my neck to see yours
Eu sempre dei tudo a quem me deu
I always gave everything to whoever gave to me
A minha rota nunca foi forçada
My path was never forced
Boy não tenho culpa do que aconteceu
Boy, I'm not to blame for what happened

Brada e até há quem diga
Bro, and there are even those who say
Que eu estou na dica da semana
That I'm the hot topic of the week
E nem me conheceram na altura
And they didn't even know me back then
Em que eu tinha o cabelo do chalana
When I had Chalana's hair
Tu dizes que me viste mas bom
You say you saw me but well
Eu estava a cubar na cabana
I was chilling in the cabin
Tu passas por filé mignon
You pass for filet mignon
Mas ovelha velha é chanfana
But old sheep is chanfana
E se vires uma luz ao fundo do túnel não ligues
And if you see a light at the end of the tunnel, don't mind it
Sou eu a fazer fumarada
It's me making smoke
Se me vens perguntar o porquê das formigas
If you come ask me why the ants
É porque ela tem uma boca açucarada
It's because she has a sugary mouth
E desde pivete que eu tenho maneiras
And since I was a kid, I've had ways
Um bocado taradas
A bit twisted
Alguns fazem-me lembrar as pernas da Ivete
Some remind me of Ivete's legs
Eu tenho-as sentido um bocado paradas
I've felt them a bit inactive
E eu a boiar à espera da bronca
And I'm floating, waiting for trouble
Sem ter a certeza se a onda vem
Without being sure if the wave is coming
O que vem tentar por merdas na minha boca
Whoever comes trying to put sh*t in my mouth
Mal sabe a merda da boca que tem
Little do they know the sh*tty mouth they have
Tu vais criticar aquilo que ele tem
You're going to criticize what he has
E o que ele tem, aconteceu
And what he has, happened
E todos querem ficar como quem
And everyone wants to be like who
Como quem? Como quem? Como eu
Like who? Like who? Like me
Galileu

Did you like this lyrics translation?
chanfana — goat stew
Chanfana refers to a traditional Portuguese goat stew, a hearty and rustic dish. It's a very specific cultural reference that stands out in the lyrics.
The artist uses it in a clever metaphor: "Tu passas por filé mignon / Mas ovelha velha é chanfana" (You pass for filet mignon / But old sheep is chanfana). This line implies that someone might present themselves as high-class or desirable (filet mignon), but underneath, they are actually common or less appealing (old sheep made into chanfana). It's a memorable and culturally rich word choice.
