Três e Meia Meaning & Lyrics (Carolina De Deus)
The poet mentions hitting snooze on alarms and staying in bed, unable to find the energy to face the day. A key line reads, ‘All I know is fighting to keep myself breathing,’ showing her battle with self-doubt. The imagery of unmade beds and mismatched socks adds a relatable touch.
São três e meiaIt’s half past three,
Já adiei alarmes e fiquei na camaI’ve hit snooze on my alarms and stayed in bed,
Há algo que me puxa para trássomething is dragging me backwards,
E eu já não me sinto mais capazand I don’t feel capable anymore.
Estou de pijamaI’m still in my pajamas,
E já nem sei qual é o dia da semanaand I don’t even know what day of the week it is.
E não encontro a motivaçãoI can’t find the motivation,
Pra ir lá fora e vestir um blusãoto put on a jacket and step outside.
Já fiz já liI’ve done and read
Todas as lições de quem é felizevery lesson from those who are happy,
E nada em mimbut nothing inside me
Parece melhorar enfimseems to finally get better.
Só sei lutar pra que não me falte o arAll I know is fighting to keep myself breathing,
E sozinha vou ter de me aguentarand I’m going to have to hold on all by myself.
Não mudo a camaI haven’t made the bed,
E nem sequer encontro um par igual de meiasand I can’t even find a matching pair of socks.
Eu tento construir um bom sermãoI try to give myself a good talking to,
Talvez consiga chamar-me à razãohoping I might talk some sense into myself.
Não posso mais forçarI can’t force it anymore,
Quero tudo pra ontemI want everything done yesterday.
Sem respirarWithout taking a breath,
E só fazer de contajust pretending.
Se alguém olharIf someone looks my way,
Conto até trêsI count to three,
E tento me controlarand try to hold myself together.
Já fiz já liI’ve done and read
Todas as lições de quem é felizevery lesson from those who are happy,
E nada em mimbut nothing inside me
Parece melhorar enfimseems to finally get better.
Só sei lutar pra que não me falte o arAll I know is fighting to keep myself breathing,
E sozinho vou ter de me aguentarand I’m going to have to hold on all by myself.
Ar ar arAir, air, air.
Vou ter de me aguentarI’m going to have to hold on.
Ar ar arAir, air, air.
Já fiz já liI’ve done and read
Todas as lições de quem é felizevery lesson from those who are happy,
E tudo em mimand everything inside me
Parece melhorar enfimseems to finally get better.
Já sei lutar pra que não me falte o arI finally know how to fight to keep myself breathing,
E sozinha eu vou-me aguentarand I’m going to hold on all by myself.
E sozinha eu vou-me aguentarYes, I’m going to hold on all by myself.
