Esquecimento Lyrics in English Skank

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Esquecimento by Skank from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

While you stop and wait

I walk, I invade

I open the door and come in

While you keep quiet

I fight, I talk

I scream, I face it

In the corner of this room it's stuck

I call, I fix

I mess up and I try

While you say, 'Wait'

Distressed I get

And say, 'I don't get it.'

I don't know why you

insist on taking so long

I want you to

say it now

Be it in Japan

Jamaica or Jalapão

In Jaraguá or in Guinea

By carriage or by truck

By car or walking on foot

I'll go

Verse 2

On the bench with no electric guitar

With acoustic guitar

I write this lament

Cuz as water wets the stone

My song puts an end to

your forgetfulness

I don't know why you

insist on taking so long

I want you to

say it now

Be it in Japan

Jamaica or Jalapão

In Jaraguá or in Guinea

By carriage or by truck

By car or walking on foot

I'll go

SONG MEANING

Esquecimento is a burst of restless energy. The singer feels stuck with someone who stays silent and motionless, so he fills the silence with bold action—banging on doors, raising his voice, facing whatever comes. Every line contrasts his urgency with the other person’s hesitation, highlighting a growing impatience and the need for answers right now.

When the chorus rolls in, the song turns into a travel manifesto. Japan, Jamaica, Jalapão, Jaraguá, Guiné… it does not matter where, or whether the journey is by horse-drawn cart or on foot—the singer is determined to go anywhere to hear the long-awaited “yes.” The plea is simple: stop delaying, stop forgetting, and acknowledge the love that is strong enough to wear away stone, the same way water shapes rock over time. The result is an anthem for anyone who has ever wanted to shake the world—and a hesitant heart—into action.
