I was supposed to like it, I loved it

I was supposed to disappear, I stayed

It was agreed to let go

But why did I get attached

I was supposed to forget, I remembered

I just slept, I lived

It's all your fault

I can't leave you anymore

I laughed at these cute and passionate people

You arrived and took away my strength

I burned my tongue because I thought it was just sex

Now we have a house, a dog, a child

Backyard with white fence

I burned my tongue because I thought it was just another

Now we're here dividing the bill and street zip code

I laughed at these cute and passionate people

You arrived and took away my strength

I burned my tongue because I thought it was just sex

Now we have a house, a dog, a child

Backyard with white fence

I burned my tongue because I thought it was just another

Now we're here dividing the bill and street zip code

I burned my tongue because I thought it was just sex

Now we have a house, a dog, a child

Backyard with white fence

I burned my tongue because I thought it was just another

Now we're here dividing the bill and street zip code

Laialá

It was to love

Queimei a língua — I bit my tongue / I spoke too soon

Queimei a língua literally translates to "I burned my tongue," but it's a common Brazilian Portuguese idiom meaning "I bit my tongue" or "I spoke too soon."

In the song, the singer uses this phrase to express regret for having dismissed the idea of a serious relationship. He thought it was just a casual fling, but he ended up falling in love and building a life with the person, completely contradicting his initial expectations. It's a relatable and engaging idiom that adds a touch of humor and irony to the lyrics.

Tierry opens the song admitting he got this wrong from the start. 'Era pra gostar eu amei' [I was supposed to like it, I loved it]: every rule he set for himself broke the moment real feelings showed up.

The title is a Brazilian expression: to "burn your tongue" means you spoke too soon and got proven wrong. He thought it was 'só transa' [just sex], he admits twice in the chorus, laughing at his own certainty. Then he lists what happened instead: 'casa, cachorro, criança' [house, dog, kid], a white picket fence, splitting bills and a street address. It lands because he used to laugh at couples exactly like that: 'Eu que ria dessa gente fofa e apaixonada' [I used to laugh at these cute, lovesick people], and somehow became one anyway.
