Meninos e Meninas

I want to find myself, but I don't know where I am
Come with me to find a a quieter place
Far from this confusion, from people who don't respect each other
I'm almost sure that I don't belong here

I think I like São Paulo and I like São João
I like São Francisco and São Sebastião
And I like boys and girls

Maybe it's just how it is, and it'll always be this way
It gets complicated and at the same time feels so different
I'm tired of knocking and no one opening
You left me feeling so cold
I don't know what else to say

I made you food, watched over your sleep
I was your friend, I took you with me
And tell me: What's left for me?

Let me see how good it is to live
It's not life as it is, but things as they are
You didn't want to try to help me
So, whose fault is it? Whose fault is it?

I sing Portuguese wrong
I think the imperfect doesn't take part in the past
I switch people, I switch pronouns

I need oxygen, I need friends
I need money, I need affection
I think I loved you, now I think I hate you
They are all just small things and everything must pass

I think I like São Paulo and I like São João
I like São Francisco and São Sebastião
And I like boys and girls
