Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Clichê Adolescente by Manu Gavassi from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

Tell me I'm beautiful so I won't believe it again

Explain longing to me so I can say you tell that to everyone

Hold me tight so I won't leave while I pretend to resist

And you laugh at my acting

Imitate my accent until I laugh and ask you to stop

Sing a song I'm not used to hearing

Say everything you feel, and if I disappear out of fear

I promise to explain with this song

I won't say it didn't move me

Hearing you talk is dangerous

All I want is to believe

I try to run, but the world conspires

If everything you said is a lie

Then lie to me again

Verse 2

Flash a smile just so I can ask why

But think hard if you should share that with me

Hold me tight so I won't leave, I don't even try to resist

And you laugh at my situation

Tell me about the past while I try to decode you

Tell me about your craziest dreams

About your plans to revolutionize

And for a second

Just you and me in the world

Verse 2

The two of us and this simple song

I won't say it didn't move me

Hearing you talk is dangerous

All I want is to believe

I try to run but the world conspires

If everything you said is a lie

So lie again

Come closer, I'll show you

Our kiss makes everything better

So don't go, stay a little longer

Don't think about anything, leave everything behind

I know it'll probably sound like a teenage cliché

But on second thought

What's wrong with that?

I won't say it didn't move me, no

I'm starting to believe

I try to run but the world conspires

If everything you said is a lie

Then lie to me again

For me, for me

Then lie to me again

SONG MEANING

Manu Gavassi sings about the electric uncertainty of a brand-new crush, when every compliment feels suspiciously sweet and every hug is both a trap and a safe place. The narrator toggles between playful skepticism and eager surrender: she rolls her eyes at cheesy lines, asks to be lied to again, and still melts when he imitates her accent or dreams out loud. It is a tug-of-war between head and heart, where sarcasm tries to shield fragile hopes but curiosity keeps her from walking away.

By the chorus she admits what the audience already senses: this push-and-pull is the most thrilling part. If believing in love is a "teenage cliché," she will wear it proudly, because the world seems to conspire in favor of their connection. In the end the song celebrates the magic of letting oneself be vulnerable, even when the script feels predictable. After all, what harm is there in a little cliché if it makes the heart race and the music play on?
