Meninos e Meninas

I want to find myself, but I don't know where I am
Come with me to look for a calmer place
Away from this confusion and from these people who don't respect each other
I'm almost certain that I'm not from here

I think I like São Paulo and I like São João
I like São Francisco and São Sebastião
And I like boys and girls

You'll see that's just how it is and it will be like that forever
It's getting complicated and at the same time different
I'm tired of knocking and no one opening
You left me feeling so cold
I don't know what else to say

I made you food, watched over your sleep
I was your friend, I took you with me
And tell me: what's left for me?

Let me see how good it is to live
It's not life as it is, but things as they are
You didn't want to try to help me
So, whose fault is it? Whose fault is it?

I sing in incorrect Portuguese
I think the imperfect doesn't take part in the past
I switch people, I switch pronouns

I need oxygen, I need to have friends
I need money, I need affection
I think I loved you, now I think I hate you
They are all small things and everything must pass

I think I like São Paulo and I like São João
I like São Francisco and São Sebastião
And I like boys and girls
