Preciso Aprender A Ser So Lyrics in English Elis Regina
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Preciso Aprender A Ser So by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
Sabe, gente
You know, folks
É tanta coisa pra gente saber
There's so much for us to know
O que cantar, como andar, onde ir
What to sing, how to walk, where to go
O que dizer, o que calar, a quem querer
What to say, what to keep quiet, whom to love
Sabe, gente
You know, folks
É tanta coisa que eu fico sem jeito
There's so much that I feel lost
Sou eu sozinho e esse nó no peito
It's just me alone and this knot in my chest
Já desfeito em lágrimas que eu luto pra esconder
Already dissolved in tears that I fight to hide
Sabe, gente
You know, folks
Eu sei que no fundo o problema é só da gente
I know that deep down the problem is just ours
É só do coração dizer não quando a mente
It's just the heart saying no when the mind
Tenta nos levar pra casa do sofrer
Tries to take us to the house of suffering
E quando escutar um samba-canção
And when you hear a samba-canção
Assim como
Just like
Eu Preciso Aprender a Ser Só
I Need to Learn to Be Alone
Reagir
React
E ouvir
And listen
O coração responder
The heart respond
'Eu preciso aprender a só ser'
"I need to learn to just be"
