Quase Que Dezoito Lyrics Translation in English

Ela me olhou de um jeito

She looked at me in a way

Que me fez desentender

That made me misunderstand

Eu tinha quase que dezoito

I was almost eighteen

Mas acabava de nascer

But I had just been born

Tudo se passou num instante

Everything happened in an instant

Entre um piscar e um olhar pra trás

Between a blink and a look back

E aquilo que eu era antes dela

And what I was before her

Sumiu não voltou jamais

Disappeared, never to return

E eu tentei falar com ela

And I tried to talk to her

Pensei que era assim

I thought it was like this

Nos filmes, nas telenovelas

In movies, in soap operas

Mas eu gostava é de gibi

But I liked comic books

Mas eu não sei

But I don't know

Se eu vou

If I'm going to

Terminar sozinho

End up alone

E logo que eu cheguei em casa

And as soon as I got home

Peguei o meu violão

I grabbed my guitar

Com três acordes Mi, Si, Lá

With three chords E, B, A

Eu fiz essa canção

I made this song

Dizendo que ela era impiedosa

Saying that she was ruthless

E eu morrendo de tesão

And I dying of desire

De sua boca mentirosa

From her lying mouth

O que era sim dizia não

What was yes, she said no

E o que o jornal anunciava

And what the newspaper announced

Eu não prestava atenção

I didn't pay attention

Pois tudo o que me importava

Because all that mattered to me

Estava agora num refrão

Was now in a chorus

Que dizia: Êi

That said: Hey

Oi, êi

Hi, hey

Você quer ficar comigo

Do you want to be with me

Há uma chance

There's a chance

De você querer ficar

That you want to stay
