Flores Lyrics in English by Mc Hariel
The word "tragédia" translates to "tragedy" in English. It's a strong and evocative word that immediately grabs attention, suggesting a dramatic narrative within the song.
In the lyrics, the artist mentions, "Falando que o meu destino é tragédia" (Saying that my destiny is tragedy). This line highlights a sense of fatalism and struggle, making "tragédia" a central theme that is both memorable and intriguing for a learner.
MC Hariel opens with a hook that is half apology, half shrug: "Eu mandei flores" [I sent flowers], followed straight away by "Eu não devia ter mandado" [I shouldn't have sent them]. He sent a girl flowers, regrets it, and still insists "Eu 'to de bem com a vida e com todas as cores" [I'm good with life and with all the colours]. The flowers become a joke on himself.
The verse is a list of her complaints, each starting with "Falando que" [saying that]: he is never "um cara maneiro" [a cool guy], he always shows up late, he has no money, and "o meu tênis 'tá furado" [my sneakers have holes in them]. "Papinho furado" is great slang to learn: literally "little talk with holes", it means empty, worn-out chatter. His answer is blunt. "Simpatia é pra quem tem / Infelizmente isso eu nasci sem" [Being nice is for those who have it / Unfortunately I was born without it], and if you don't like him, "pois bem" [fine then]. He even calls himself "bem complicado" [really complicated], which is about as honest as a funk track gets.
