Baby Face Lyrics in English Elis Regina

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Baby Face by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
Baby face
Baby face
Esse rostinho lindo
This pretty little face
Baby face
Baby face
Parece ingênuo, não é isso não
Seems innocent, but it's not
Baby face
Baby face
Que encontrei sorrindo
That I found smiling
E me deixou sonhando
And left me dreaming
Baby face
Baby face
Esse seu modo estranho de olhar pra mim
This strange way you look at me
Me faz acreditar, que você
Makes me believe, that you
Sabe amar, mentindo
Know how to love, lying
Baby face
Baby face

Did you like this lyrics translation?

ingênuonaive

Ingênuo translates to "naive" or "innocent". It's an interesting word because it sets up a contrast right from the start of the song.

The lyrics describe a "baby face" that seems naive but isn't. This word immediately hints at a deeper, more complex character than initially perceived, making the listener curious about the true nature of the person being sung about.
