These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Bonito não é, nem chega aos pés
It's not pretty, it doesn't even come close
Do conto de fadas que a moça sonhou
From the fairy tale that the girl dreamed of
Não foi por querer, foi por convencer
It wasn't by wanting, it was by convincing
De tanto forçar, ele se acostumou
From so much forcing, he got used to it
Não soltou
did not let go
Água mole na pedra bateu
Soft water on the stone hit
De tão dura a pedra cedeu
So hard the stone gave way
Ela achou que era amor
She thought it was love
Ele achou confortável, ficou
He found it comfortable, stayed
Não foi por amor
it wasn't for love
Foi aquele domingo de cama vazia
It was that Sunday with an empty bed
Saudade dos filhos
miss the children
Da mensagem de bom dia
Good morning message
Medo de morrer sozinho
Afraid of dying alone
Pressão da família
family pressure
Foi tudo menos isso que chamam de amor
It was anything but what they call love
Não teve pedido, nem data marca
There was no request, no date set
Nem quer casar comigo, nem beijo na escada
He doesn't even want to marry me, he doesn't even kiss me on the stairs
Em nome da solidão e da carência
In the name of loneliness and need
Não foi por amor, foi por conveniência
It wasn't for love, it was for convenience
Água mole na pedra bateu
Soft water on the stone hit
De tão dura a pedra cedeu
So hard the stone gave way
Ela achou que era amor
She thought it was love
Ele achou confortável, ficou
He found it comfortable, stayed
Não foi por amor
it wasn't for love
Foi aquele domingo de cama vazia
It was that Sunday with an empty bed
Saudade dos filhos
miss the children
Da mensagem de bom dia
Good morning message
Medo de morrer sozinho
Afraid of dying alone
Pressão da família
family pressure
Foi tudo menos isso que chamam de amor
It was anything but what they call love
Não teve pedido, nem data marca
There was no request, no date set
Nem quer casar comigo, nem beijo na escada
He doesn't even want to marry me, he doesn't even kiss me on the stairs
Em nome da solidão e da carência
In the name of loneliness and need
Não foi por amor, foi por conveniência
It wasn't for love, it was for convenience
Não foi por amor, foi por conveniência
It wasn't for love, it was for convenience
Não foi por amor, foi por conveniência
It wasn't for love, it was for convenience
