Translation of the song Vi, Não Vivi artist Zélia Duncan

Portuguese

Vi, Não Vivi

English translation

I Saw It, I Didn't Live It

Primeira vez que eu te vi

The first time I saw you

Meu coração não fez clique 1

My heart didn't make a click 1

Se ouvi ou vi, não vivi

If I heard or if I saw, I didn't live it

Seu pique, seu trique-trique 2

Your pace, your boredom

Não vi sushi, sashimi

I didn't see any sushi or sashimi

Nem Eros 3 nem Afrodite 4

Neither Eros 2 nor Aphrodite 3

Primeira vez que eu te vi

The first time I saw you

Primeiro vi seus limites

The first things I saw were your limitations

Vi não vivi

I saw it, I didn't live it

Não senti onda por ti, não senti

I wasn't attracted to you, I didn't feel it

Nem o menor apetite, não senti tremelique, senti

I didn't get any desire of you, I didn't shiver, I felt

Não me deu onda por ti, não vivi

I didn't get any desire, I didn't live it

Não senti frenesi

I didn't feel a frenzy

Nem o menor apetite, não senti tremelique, senti

I didn't get any desire of you, I didn't shiver, I felt

Não vi nenhum colibri, não vi sua “bad trip”

I didn't see any humming bird, I didn't see your bad trip

Sino batendo, não ouvi

The bells rang, I didn't hear

Nem vi se havia convite

Neither did I see if there was an invitation

Sol Búzios nós dois ali

The Sun shone over Búzios and we were there

Com ares de casal vinte

Acting like if we were the greatest couple alive

Nem com os olhos comi

I didn't eat you with my eyes

Nem veni nem vidi nem vici 5

No veni, vidi, vici 4

Primeira vez que eu te vi

The first time I saw you

Contive os meus palpites

I didn't act so steadily

Falei de Rilke e Leminski

I talked about Rilke and Leminski

Assim que vi seus grafites

As I had seen your graffitis
