Peito Lyrics in English Mimicat

Home / Lyrics Translation / Mimicat / Peito

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Peito by Mimicat from Portuguese to English.

I ended up having

An ordinary story with you, with you

And if you want to know

It didn't even touch me, me

Not even when you took me to dinner

And looked sideways with that look

Like someone who knows where the night will end

Not even when you looked at me with that look

And you'd say, "girl, you take my breath away"

I miss you, my love

What do I do with this pain

That won't fit in my chest

Come back to grab me

By the waist and squeeze me

Against your chest

That was only mine

I'm not gonna tell you

That you were a great story, story

Nor that I kept you

In my best memory

Memory

Not even when we danced non-stop

Or anything else, just to touch you

And I knew where the night would end

Not even when you looked at me with that look

And you'd say, "girl, you take my breath away"

I miss you, my love

What do I do with this pain

That won't fit in my chest

Come back to grab me

By the waist and squeeze me

Against your chest

I miss you, my love

What do I do with this pain

That won't fit in my chest

Come back to grab me

By the waist and squeeze me

Against your chest

That was only mine

SONG MEANING

Peito is a playful yet bittersweet confession about the clash between pride and longing. The narrator tries to convince both her ex and herself that their romance was “nothing special,” listing the dinners, dances, and flirtatious glances as if they were routine. On the surface she is cool and detached, but every time she repeats that the story didn’t even “move” her, the illusion cracks. The chorus bursts in with raw honesty: the pain is so big it no longer fits in her peito (chest) and she begs him to come back, wrap an arm around her waist, and pull her close.

Under the catchy, soulful groove lies a relatable message: sometimes we downplay our feelings to save face, yet our bodies and hearts refuse to lie. Peito captures that tug-of-war through vivid images of physical closeness contrasted with stubborn denial, turning a simple breakup song into an anthem for anyone who has ever pretended to be fine while secretly yearning for one more hug.
