Caetano Veloso – Sozinho Lyrics (English Translation)

(Verse 1)
Sometimes in the quiet of the night,
I start to picture you and me.
I stay here, drifting in a daydream’s light,
Connecting past, the now, and what will be.
Why do you leave me floating, wild and free?
Why don’t you ever anchor close to me?
I’m feeling so alone, as you can see.

(Verse 2)
I’m not and don’t want to be your owner,
It’s just that affection sometimes feels so right.
I have my private wants and secret plans,
I only open up to you at night.
Why do you disappear and leave me out of sight?
What if I find another who feels just right?
What if someone else should win my heart outright?

(Chorus)
When we like someone, we naturally care,
But you say that you love me, and it’s just not there.
You either mess with me, or you’re not ready yet.
Tell me, where are you now? I can’t forget.
When we like someone, we show them we’re aware,
But you say that you love me, and it’s just not fair.
You either mess with me, or you’re not ready to bet.
Tell me, where are you now? I’m filled with regret.

(Outro)
Where are you now?
