Peraí Lyrics Translation in English

Na rodoviária

At the bus station

O som da gasolina

The sound of gasoline

O olho da menina

The girl's eye

A bola de cristal

The crystal ball

Futuro doido

Crazy future

Eu abro o quebra-vento

I open the wind deflector

Eu ía ver o filme

I was going to watch the movie

E soube do final

And learned about the ending

São quase seis

It's almost six

Eu já perdi a missa

I already missed the mass

Eu ía ver a moça

I was going to see the girl

Mas eu me atrasei

But I got delayed

Saí do carro

I left the car

E nem travei a porta

And didn't even lock the door

Eu vi você gritando um nome

I saw you shouting a name

E eu disse:

And I said:

Peraí, menina

Wait, girl

Você me olhou

You looked at me

Com aquela cara

With that face

De não sei

I don't know

Peraí, menina

Wait, girl

Tá tudo doido

Everything's crazy

Tudo errado

All wrong

Mas eu lhe encontrei

But I found you

Eu nem sabia mais

I didn't even know anymore

Sequer como era o jeito

What the way was like

E Pedro ainda tinha

And Pedro was still afraid

Medo de trovão

Of thunder

Passado bom

Good past

Pregado na parede

Hung on the wall

Eu te casei comigo

I married you with me

Por causa de um

Because of a

Peraí, menina

Wait, girl

Você me olhou

You looked at me

Com aquela cara

With that face

De não sei

I don't know

Peraí, menina

Wait, girl

Tá tudo doido

Everything's crazy

Tudo errado

All wrong

Mas eu lhe encontrei

But I found you

Planalto, pedra, pau

Plateau, rock, wood

Pessoa, picadeiro

Person, circus

Gelo, cocaína

Ice, cocaine

Capa de jornal

Newspaper cover

Avenca, vidro, corte

Maidenhair, glass, cut

Dor e mertiolate

Pain and antiseptic

Prostituta, cruz

Prostitute, cross

E placa de aluguel

And rent sign

Terceira criança

Third child

Segundo caderno

Second notebook

O mapa do inferno

The map of hell

Um crime capital

A capital crime

Anjos e astros

Angels and stars

E um papel carbono

And carbon paper

E no meio disso tudo

And in the midst of all this

Um grito:

A scream:

Peraí, menina

Wait, girl

Você me olhou

You looked at me

Com aquela cara

With that face

De não sei

I don't know

Peraí, menina

Wait, girl

Tá tudo doido

Everything's crazy

Tudo errado

All wrong

Mas eu lhe encontrei

But I found you
