Eu Tenho Um Fraquinho Por Ti

I have a soft spot for you
you don't pay attention to me
you don't give me the time of day
when I stand by your side
trembling nervously with pleasure
and messing things up
you enjoy yourself a bit
drinking cheap wine
I stumble over my words
I stay in a corner, annoyed
out of all the pub
where you'll spend the night
if I look at you with tenderness
you look down on me
as if I were a whip
it's a scare, a shiver
that hits me like cold iron.

I have a soft spot for you
that goes from end to end
you always step on me
when I throw myself in love
in a clumsy way
I disguise it with brandy and coffee
you smoke your cigarette
and make fun of me, that's it
I've already messed up
you forget about me overnight
in cheerful company
of shots and rounds
you stay carefree
you don't care, you're indifferent
if I come on too strong
a seductive touch is enough
I'm just a lovesick fool.

I have a soft spot for you
that burns my heart
almost destroys my reason
your sneaky laugh
drags me down, to the brink
of a heart attack
I drown myself in lemon balm tea
you mock me, throw yourself on the ground
mocking in your own way
giving your farewell
to the group leaving
the friends from Trindade
but at the end of the night, in the evening
you're sad and alone
looking for friendship
and as is your custom
you call me the fool I am.

I tune my tenor voice
I try to act tough
when you're feeling down
I want to see you regretful
but in a bold move
you, a little rascal
give me a kiss and a little push
that leaves me all mixed up
I shiver with goosebumps
and I like you, you trickster
your witty remarks
your final aside
your irreverent manner
your happy appearance
your wild ways
in other words, hotter
I have a weak spot for you.
