Te liguei pra falar de ontem à noite morena
I called you to talk about last night, my love
Eu saí de casa pro trampo 'cê tava no esquema
I left home for work, you were all set up
Esperando eu voltar com o banquete na mesa, bonita toda maquiada
Waiting for me to come back with the banquet on the table, beautiful, all made up
Beleza rara beijo de chocolate 18 quilates, com aquela calcinha de renda
Rare beauty, 18-carat chocolate kiss, with those lace panties
Te peço desculpa mas o trampo me cobra mas
I apologize, but work demands me, but
Sei que não é desculpa mais uma vez
I know it's not an excuse again
'Cê 'tava lá pra mim e eu não 'tava pro 'cê
You were there for me and I wasn't there for you
E ontem a noite mesmo eu vacilei
And last night I really messed up
Mas deixa eu te pedir em casamento
But let me ask you to marry me
Te levar comigo pro Caribe em cima de um tapete viajando com o vento
Take you with me to the Caribbean on a carpet, traveling with the wind
Pra mim o tempo já passou faz tempo
For me, time has already passed a long time ago
Mas pra você ficar talvez não basta o sentimento
But for you to stay, maybe the feeling isn't enough
Talvez tenha que te mostrar que eu vivo num momento
Maybe I have to show you that I live in a moment
Onde todas as coisas me querem com 100% de atenção
Where everything wants 100% of my attention
Mas a porcentagem já não bate
But the percentage doesn't add up anymore
'To pensando em vazar, fumar um cigarro de chá mate
I'm thinking of bailing, smoking a mate tea cigarette
Deixar a vida de lado vencer tipo xeque-mate
Let life win like checkmate
Mas se você quiser a gente declara um empate
But if you want, we'll declare a tie
Mesmo se o sol nascer ao contrário ainda vou 'ta no mesmo lugar
Even if the sun rises backwards, I'll still be in the same place
E você se quiser pode vir pra me acompanhar
And if you want, you can come with me
Vou te dar flores e te levar pra jantar no mar
I'll give you flowers and take you to dinner by the sea
Mas no dia seguinte o mundo vai me pedir pra voltar
But the next day the world will ask me to come back
E eu também sei que minha vida ultimamente tem sido bem mais corrida
And I also know that my life lately has been much more hectic
Do que eu imaginava e a gente se embolava no lençol
Than I imagined, and we'd get tangled in the sheets
E se perdia com a noite até se encontrar com o sol
And get lost with the night until meeting the sun
Vai, tão longe que 'cê nem possa lembrar
Go, so far that you can't even remember
Do meu canto e do meu lar
My place and my home
Vai, talvez a gente se encontre
Go, maybe we'll meet
Do outro lado do meu celular
On the other side of my phone
Vai, tão longe que 'cê nem possa lembrar
Go, so far that you can't even remember
Do meu canto e do meu lar
My place and my home
Vai, talvez a gente se encontre
Go, maybe we'll meet
Do outro lado do meu celular
On the other side of my phone
'Cê me liga no FaceTime que não tem o time da vida real
You call me on FaceTime, which doesn't have real life's timing
'Cê me fala que tudo que eu quero é escrever poesia e escutar Marechal
You tell me all I want is to write poetry and listen to Marechal
Mas 'to longe de casa vivendo meu sonho
But I'm far from home, living my dream
Trampando meu sonho como um delinquente
Working my dream like a delinquent
Escrevendo dez horas por dia dez folhas por hora
Writing ten hours a day, ten pages an hour
Tudo que vive na minha mente
Everything that lives in my mind
Sei lá, vai ver que a gente não era pra ser
I don't know, maybe we weren't meant to be
E o mundo vive tentando me fazer te esquecer
And the world keeps trying to make me forget you
E o mundo da voltas, tanta volta que eu sempre encontro com você, nem
And the world turns, so many turns that I always meet you, I don't even
Sei de onde vem tanta coincidência
Know where so much coincidence comes from
Talvez seja o fato da minha vida não ter coerência
Maybe it's the fact that my life has no coherence
É, 'cê nunca ligou pra minha aparência
Yeah, you never cared about my appearance
Mas nós tem tanta química mais que nas aulas de ciências
But we have so much chemistry, more than in science classes
'Tá vendo aquela lua que brilha lá no céu
Do you see that moon shining up in the sky
Se você me pedir nem sei se vou poder te dar
If you ask me, I don't even know if I can give it to you
Mas te dou o calor do sol e a força das ondas do mar
But I give you the heat of the sun and the strength of the ocean waves
E se não for suficiente 'cê pode vazar
And if it's not enough, you can bail
Mesmo se o sol nascer ao contrário ainda vou 'ta no mesmo lugar
Even if the sun rises backwards, I'll still be in the same place
E você se quiser pode vir pra me acompanhar
And if you want, you can come with me
Vou te dar flores e te levar pra jantar no mar
I'll give you flowers and take you to dinner by the sea
Mas no dia seguinte o mundo vai me pedir pra voltar
But the next day the world will ask me to come back
E eu também sei que minha vida ultimamente tem sido bem mais corrida
And I also know that my life lately has been much more hectic
Do que eu imaginava e a gente se embolava no lençol
Than I imagined, and we'd get tangled in the sheets
E se perdia com a noite até se encontrar com o sol
And get lost with the night until meeting the sun
Vai, tão longe que 'cê nem possa lembrar
Go, so far that you can't even remember
Do meu canto e do meu lar
My place and my home
Vai, talvez a gente se encontre
Go, maybe we'll meet
No outro lado do meu celular
On the other side of my phone
Vai, tão longe que 'cê nem possa lembrar
Go, so far that you can't even remember
Do meu canto e do meu lar
My place and my home
Vai, talvez a gente se encontre
Go, maybe we'll meet
Do outro lado do meu celular
On the other side of my phone

xeque-mate — checkmate
Xeque-mate literally translates to "checkmate", as in the final move in a game of chess. It's an interesting and less common word to find in song lyrics.
In the song, the artist uses it metaphorically when he sings, "Deixar a vida de lado vencer tipo xeque-mate" (To leave life aside, win like checkmate). This suggests a desire to achieve a decisive victory or resolution in his life, perhaps escaping the complexities of his relationships and responsibilities.
