Fugiu Com a Novela [English translation]

I lost my girl to an evening soap opera

With this deception, I lost hope, for good

My heart, now, beats, half alive, half dead

Preventing me from a bit more illusions

After this deception

All the attention she used to give me

Was, then, split in two.

She froze in front of the television,

Her thoughts tuned-in on other love story,

All hypnotized.

She threw aside our affair,

which, by then, was at full blast.

My life was to go to soccer matches,

She always waited me to get home.

When I was horny,

She never refused.

If I slept around with another,

it was ok for her

CHORUS

When we moved to our place,

She was head over heels about me

She cooked my meals, did my laundry, fondled my body

I used to tell my jokes,

and she cracked laughing.

If I slapped her,

She forgave it all.

Our life was pretty nice,

She never complained

Now she's far away

I've heard nothing about her

She ran away from our home

Took the television with her
