Codinome Beija-Flor / O Tempo Não Para Lyrics in English Jão
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Codinome Beija-Flor / O Tempo Não Para by Jão from Portuguese to English.
Pra que mentir, fingir que perdoou?
Why lie, pretend you forgave?
Tentar ficar amigos sem rancor?
Try to be friends without resentment?
A emoção acabou, que coincidência é o amor
The thrill is over, what a coincidence love is
A nossa música nunca mais tocou
Our song never played again
Pra que usar de tanta educação
Why be so polite
Pra destilar terceiras intenções?
To reveal ulterior motives?
Desperdiçando o meu mel, devagarzinho, flor em flor
Wasting my honey, slowly, flower by flower
Entre os meus inimigos, beija-flor
Among my enemies, hummingbird
Eu protegi o teu nome por amor
I protected your name for love
Em um codinome, beija-Flor
In a codename, hummingbird
Não responda nunca, meu amor
Never answer, my love
Pra qualquer um na rua, Beija-Flor
To anyone on the street, Hummingbird
Que só eu que podia
That only I could
Dentro da tua orelha fria
Inside your cold ear
Dizer segredos de liquidificador
Say jumbled secrets
Você sonhava acordada
You daydreamed
Um jeito de não sentir dor
A way to not feel pain
Prendia o choro e aguava o bom do amor
Held back tears and watered down the good of love
Prendia o choro e aguava o bom do amor
Held back tears and watered down the good of love
A tua piscina 'tá cheia de ratos
Your pool is full of rats
Tuas ideias não correspondem aos fatos
Your ideas don't correspond to the facts
Ai, o tempo não para
Oh, time doesn't stop
Não para, não
It doesn't stop, no
Eu não tenho data pra comemorar
I don't have a date to celebrate
Às vezes os meus dias são de par em par
Sometimes my days are in pairs
Procurando agulha no palheiro
Looking for a needle in a haystack
Nas noites de frio é melhor nem nascer
On cold nights it's better not to even be born
Nas de calor, se escolhe é matar ou morrer
On hot ones, you choose to kill or be killed
E assim nos tornamos brasileiros
And so we become Brazilians
Te chamam de ladrão, de bicha, maconheiro
They call you a thief, a f*ggot, a stoner
Transformam o país inteiro num puteiro
They turn the whole country into a whorehouse
Pois assim se ganha mais dinheiro
Because that's how you earn more money
Ah, e a tua piscina 'tá cheia de ratos
Ah, and your pool is full of rats
Tuas ideias não correspondem aos fatos
Your ideas don't correspond to the facts
O tempo não para
Time doesn't stop
Eu vejo o futuro repetir o passado
I see the future repeating the past
Eu vejo um museu de grandes novidades
I see a museum of great novelties
O tempo não para
Time doesn't stop
Não para, não, não para
It doesn't stop, no, it doesn't stop
