Full lyrics

Dentro do carro

Sobre o trevo

A cem por hora, ó meu amor

Só tens agora os carinhos do motor


E no escritório em que eu trabalho

E fico rico, quanto mais eu multiplico

Diminui o meu amor


Em cada luz de mercúrio

Vejo a luz do teu olhar

Passas praças, viadutos

Nem te lembras de voltar, de voltar, de voltar


No corcovado, quem abre os braços sou eu

Copacabana, esta semana, o mar sou eu

Como é perversa a juventude do meu coração

Que só entende o que é cruel, o que é paixão


E as paralelas dos pneus n'água das ruas

São duas estradas nuas

Em que foges do que é teu


No apartamento, oitavo andar

Abro a vidraça e grito, grito quando o carro passa

Teu infinito sou eu, sou eu, sou eu, sou eu

Translation

Inside the car

Above the cloverleaf

At a hundred miles an hour, oh my love

Now you only have the caresses of the engine


And in the office where I work

And I get richer, the more I multiply

My love diminishes


In every mercury light

I see the light of your gaze

You pass squares, viaducts

You don't even remember to return, to return, to return


On Corcovado, I'm the one who opens my arms

Copacabana, this week, I'm the sea

How perverse is the youth of my heart

That only understands what is cruel, what is passion


And the parallel lines of the tires in the street water

Are two naked roads

On which you flee from what is yours


In the apartment, eighth floor

I open the window and shout, I shout when the car passes

Your infinity is me, is me, is me, is me
