Se Eu Fosse [English translation]

If I were a blues song, I would tell to you leave

If I were a samba song, I would wait for the aurora

If I were a jazz song, I would improvise being in love

If I were a forró1 song, I would wipe all the pain away

If I were a waltz, I would conduct you through life

If I were a tango, I would push you towards the exit

If I were a rock song, I would smile at you all through the night

If I were a maxixe2, I would play with your libido

If I were a song, I would caress your ear

If I were a passing trend, I would swear that you would come

If I were Sebastian Bach, I would do the fugue everyday

If I were Beethoven, the ninth symphony would be yours

If I were a song's lyrics, I would write a single rhyme

And in the end of an unattractive verse

I would sing you for me
