Lyrics and translation Erasmo Carlos feat. Roberto Carlos - Parei Na Contramão

Parei Na Contramão

Vinha voando no meu carro, quando vi pela frente
Na beira da calçada um broto displicente
Liguei o pisca-pisca pra esquerda e entrei
A velocidade que eu vinha, não sei

Pisei no freio obedecendo ao coração e parei
Parei na contramão
O broto displicente nem sequer me olhou
Insisti na buzina mas não funcionou

Segue o broto o seu caminho sem me ligar
Pensei por um momento que ela fosse parar
Alcancei à toda e sem querer avancei o sinal
O guarda apitou

O guarda muito vivo de longe me acenava
E pela cara dele eu vi que não gostava
Falei que foi cupido quem me atrapalhou
Mas minha carteira pro xadrez levou

Acho que esse guarda nunca se apaixonou
Pois minha carteira o malvado levou
Quando me livrei do guarda o broto não vi
Mas sei que algum dia ela vai voltar

E a buzina dessa vez eu sei que vai funcionar
O guarda muito vivo de longe me acenava
E pela cara dele eu vi que não gostava
Falei que foi cupido quem me atrapalhou

Mas minha carteira pro xadrez levou
Acho que esse guarda nunca se apaixonou
Pois minha carteira pro xadrez levou
Quando me livrei do guarda o broto não vi

Mas sei que algum dia ela vai voltar
E a buzina dessa vez eu sei que vai funcionar
E a buzina dessa vez eu sei que vai funcionar
E a buzina dessa vez eu sei que vai funcionar

Stopped on the Wrong Side of the Road

I was flying in my car when I saw up ahead
A careless young woman on the sidewalk
I turned on my left turn signal and pulled over
I don't know how fast I was going

I slammed on the brakes, following my heart, and stopped
I stopped on the wrong side of the road
The careless young woman didn't even look at me
I kept honking the horn, but it didn't work

The young woman continued on her way without paying any attention to me
For a moment I thought she was going to stop
I caught up to her and, without thinking, ran the red light
The cop whistled

The cop, who was very alert, was waving at me from a distance
And I could tell from his expression that he wasn't happy
I told him that it was Cupid who had distracted me
But he took my wallet and towed my car

I don't think that cop has ever been in love
Because the jerk took my wallet
When I got rid of the cop, I couldn't find the young woman
But I know that someday she'll come back

And this time I know the horn will work
The cop, who was very alert, was waving at me from a distance
And I could tell from his expression that he wasn't happy
I told him that it was Cupid who had distracted me

But he took my wallet and towed my car
I don't think that cop has ever been in love
Because the jerk took my wallet
When I got rid of the cop, I couldn't find the young woman

But I know that someday she'll come back
And this time I know the horn will work
And this time I know the horn will work
And this time I know the horn will work
