Jean Paulo Campos – Peraí Lyrics (English Translation)

(Verse 1)
Hold up, if you don’t know, I’ve got something to say.
It’s hard being a kid, learning life day by day.
I decided to let life teach me on its own,
I still have time, it’s okay to leave things unknown.
Just imagine what happened to me at this age,
I fell for someone I couldn’t have, turned the page.
Irony of fate just loves to mess with us,
I don’t know how to handle this, everything’s a plus.

(Chorus)
Hold up, children should be happy, don’t you see?
Hold up, that’s what my heart keeps telling me.
Another dream inside my head is waiting to come true.
Hold up, that’s why I come to sing for you.
Listen up, I know you want to hear it all.
Everything is possible, just stand tall.

(Verse 2)
First love isn’t something you forget with ease,
Especially when that love doesn’t aim to please.
My dad says I’m a man and can’t mess up,
But I’m still a child, my feelings fill the cup.
I can’t understand what keeps us apart,
When I see your face, it races my heart.
But I figured a way to catch your attention.
Hold up, this song’s for you, my own invention.

(Chorus)
Hold up, children should be happy, don’t you see?
Hold up, that’s what my heart keeps telling me.
Another dream inside my head is waiting to come true.
Hold up, that’s why I come to sing for you.
Listen up, I know you want to hear it all.
Everything is possible, just stand tall.
