I don't know how this happened

And I'm not good at explaining it

That should be me

You don't even seem to notice

I always leave when she arrives

I always change the subject

I'm not one to talk, I'm one to hide

Maybe one day I'll admit

That I'd rather have you like this

Than not at all

I'd rather stay quiet

Watch you walk hand in hand

So this is what my mom was talking about

More or less what it's like to be in love

After all, I don't know if I like it, if it's for me

So this is what everyone was talking about

More or less this, it hurts more than I expected

After all, I just really don't want to like you

I keep making movies in my head

I imagine you calling me

That you'll find me at the party

I make plans, I cross my fingers

And you kiss me on the forehead

You say I'm your friend

I hide so you won't see me cry

You wouldn't understand

I end up seeing you arrive

Always with some other girl

And to be perfectly honest

I'm never going to like her

So this is what my mom was talking about

More or less what it's like to be in love

After all, I don't know if I like it, if it's for me

So this is what everyone was talking about

More or less this, it hurts more than I expected

After all, I just really don't want to like you

What never starts can't end

And I'd rather have a dream than nothing

What never starts can't end

And I'd rather have a dream than nothing

What never starts can't end

So this is what everyone was talking about

More or less this, it hurts more than I expected

After all, I just really don't want to like you

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Have you ever had a crush on a friend who doesn't see you that way? It can be super confusing! In her song 'Mais ou Menos Isto,' which means 'More or Less This,' Brazilian artist Rita Rocha perfectly captures this feeling. She's fallen for a guy who is with someone else, and he seems to have no idea about her feelings. It's a classic story of unrequited love, where she has to watch them hold hands and pretend she's okay.

Throughout the song, she realizes that this painful, complicated emotion is exactly what her mom and everyone else described when they talked about being in love. She'd rather keep him as a friend than risk losing him completely by telling the truth, so she daydreams about a different reality. The song explores the bittersweet choice of preferring a 'dream to nothing,' because if a romance never starts, it can never end and break your heart.
