Aquela Dos 30 Lyrics in English Sandy

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Aquela Dos 30 by Sandy from Portuguese to English.
It's already Thursday
And I'm almost thirty already
Playtime's over
And the urge in me grew to be everything I wanted and have
More time to work on myself
I've got teenage dreams but my back hurts
I'm too young to be old
And too old to be young
I have records from eighty-seven
And from two thousand nine
I'm too young to be old
And too old to be young
It's already Thursday
And not long ago I was almost twenty
I made so many plans
And I thought that in ten years I'd live a full life and wouldn't
Still have so much left to see
I've got teenage dreams but my back hurts
I'm too young to be old
And too old to be young
I have records from eighty-seven
And from two thousand nine
I'm too young to be old
And too old to be young
Time's short and I miss it so much
I need a longer time
Than this life that's not all still ahead of me
And as big as what the soul feels
I've got teenage dreams but my back hurts
I'm too young to be old
And too old to be young
I have records from eighty-seven
And from two thousand nine
I'm too young to be old
And too old to be young
I've got teenage dreams but my back hurts
I'm too young to be old
And too old to be young
I value what the soul feels
But I've rocked Bon Jovi
I'm too young to be old
And too old to be young
It's almost midnight already
Almost Friday and there's still so much left for me

SONG MEANING

“Aquela dos 30” is Sandy’s playful yet honest confession about reaching the threshold of thirty and realizing that time is both a friend and a prankster. She sings of Thursday nights that turn into Fridays in the blink of an eye, teenage dreams that are still alive while her back starts to ache, and record collections that jump from 1987 to 2009. The song captures that bittersweet spot where you are too young to feel old, too old to feel young, juggling nostalgia for Bon Jovi with the urgency to become the person you always imagined.

Beneath the light-hearted references, the lyrics explore a universal rush for “extra time” – more hours to chase ambitions, more space to fit the size of your soul. Sandy reminds us that adulthood arrives quietly, carrying responsibilities but also the freedom to honor every version of ourselves. It is an anthem for anyone counting birthdays and dreams at the same time, celebrating the beautiful chaos of growing up without ever outgrowing hope.
