Lyrics Translation

(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Bring that come, you mek it nice up)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)

(Bring that come, you mek it nice up)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)

Don't want your love
Don't worry who I'm seeing tonight, it's none of your business
Too bad I weren't enough
'Cause ready or not, I'm better on my own

Too many times you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb
And when I try to give you my time it's never ever ideal
Had to learn it the hard way
Oh, yeah

Wasted energy, yeah
Wasted energy
Wasted energy, yeah
Why did you, why did you fuck up the chemistry?

(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Bring that come, you mek it nice up)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)

Broken promises along the way
Lost count of how many you made my love, my love, my love
Tied up in your plans, still on center stage, no great escape
Wouldn't keep you in my line up, line up, line up

Too many times you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb, yeah
And when I try to give you my time it's never ever ideal
Had to learn it the hard way
Yeah

Wasted energy, yeah
Wasted energy
Wasted energy (yeah)
Why did you, why did you fuck up the chemistry?

(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Bring that come, you mek it nice up)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)

(Bring that come, you mek it nice up)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)

Kwa nini penzi umelikata miguu
Unalibidua mara chini mara juu?
Why?
Why?
Moyo unaumia, Moyo unaumia
Moyo unaumia kwa nini unaugeuza nguo karaha?
Eti karaha, oh-ohh

(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Ay você garota, você está bem apertada)
(Bring that come, you mek it nice up)
(Traz isso aqui, você faz ficar bom)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)

(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Ay você garota, você está bem apertada)
Don't want your love
Não quero o seu amor
Don't worry who I'm seeing tonight, it's none of your business
Não se preocupe com quem estou vendo hoje à noite, não é da sua conta
Too bad I weren't enough
Pena que eu não fui o suficiente
'Cause ready or not, I'm better on my own
Porque querendo ou não, estou melhor sozinho
Too many times you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Muitas vezes você fechou os olhos para o que eu sinto
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb
Oh, você é a razão pela qual estou entorpecido
And when I try to give you my time it's never ever ideal
E quando tento te dar meu tempo, nunca é ideal
Had to learn it the hard way
Tive que aprender da maneira mais difícil
Oh, yeah
Oh, sim
Wasted energy, yeah
Energia desperdiçada, sim
Wasted energy
Energia desperdiçada
Wasted energy, yeah
Energia desperdiçada, sim
Why did you, why did you fuck up the chemistry?
Por que você, por que você estragou a química?
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Ay você garota, você está bem apertada)
(Bring that come, you mek it nice up)
(Traz isso aqui, você faz ficar bom)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Ay você garota, você está bem apertada)
(Ay you gyal you're looking tight up)
(Ay você garota, você está bem apertada)
Broken promises along the way
Promessas quebradas ao longo do caminho
Lost count of how many you made my love, my love, my love
Perdi a conta de quantas você fez meu amor, meu amor, meu amor
Tied up in your plans, still on center stage, no great escape
Preso em seus planos, ainda no centro do palco, sem grande fuga
Wouldn't keep you in my line up, line up, line up
Não te manteria na minha lista, lista, lista
Too many times you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Muitas vezes você fechou os olhos para o que eu sinto
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb, yeah
Oh, você é a razão pela qual estou entorpecido, sim
And when I try to give you my time it's never ever ideal
E quando tento te dar meu tempo, nunca é ideal
Had to learn it the hard way
Tive que aprender da maneira mais difícil
Yeah
Sim
Wasted energy, yeah
Energia desperdiçada, sim
Wasted energy
Energia desperdiçada
Wasted energy (yeah)
Energia desperdiçada (sim)
Why did you, why did you fuck up the chemistry?
Por que você, por que você estragou a química?

Kwa nini penzi umelikata miguu
Por que você cortou as pernas do amor?
Unalibidua mara chini mara juu?
Você o vira de cabeça para baixo?
Why?
Por quê?
Why?
Por quê?
Moyo unaumia, Moyo unaumia
O coração está doendo, o coração está doendo
Moyo unaumia kwa nini unaugeuza nguo karaha?
Por que você está transformando a roupa em um incômodo?
Eti karaha, oh-ohh
Dizendo que é um incômodo, oh-ohh

Don't want your love
No quiero tu amor
Don't worry who I'm seeing tonight, it's none of your business
No te preocupes por con quién estoy esta noche, no es asunto tuyo
Too bad I weren't enough
Demasiado mal que no fuera suficiente
'Cause ready or not, I'm better on my own
Porque, lista o no, estoy mejor sola
Too many times you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Demasiadas veces ignoraste cómo me siento
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb
Oh, tú eres la razón por la que estoy entumecida
And when I try to give you my time it's never ever ideal
Y cuando intento darte mi tiempo, nunca es ideal
Had to learn it the hard way
Tuve que aprenderlo de la manera difícil
Oh, yeah
Oh, sí
Wasted energy, yeah

(Ay chica, te ves bien ajustada)
Broken promises along the way
Promesas rotas en el camino
Lost count of how many you made my love, my love, my love
Perdí la cuenta de cuántas hiciste mi amor, mi amor, mi amor
Tied up in your plans, still on center stage, no great escape
Atada a tus planes, aún en el centro del escenario, sin gran escape
Wouldn't keep you in my line up, line up, line up
No te mantendría en mi alineación, alineación, alineación
Too many times you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Demasiadas veces ignoraste cómo me siento
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb, yeah
Oh, tú eres la razón por la que estoy entumecida, sí
And when I try to give you my time it's never ever ideal

Dommage que je n'aie pas été suffisante
'Cause ready or not, I'm better on my own
Car prête ou non, je vais mieux toute seule
Too many times you turned a blind eye to the way I feel
Trop de fois tu as fermé les yeux sur ce que je ressens
Oh, you're the reason why I'm numb
Oh, tu es la raison pour laquelle je suis engourdie
And when I try to give you my time it's never ever ideal
Et quand j'essaie de te donner mon temps, ce n'est jamais idéal

Broken promises along the way
Des promesses brisées en cours de route
Lost count of how many you made my love, my love, my love
J'ai perdu le compte de combien tu as faites mon amour, mon amour, mon amour
Tied up in your plans, still on center stage, no great escape
Prise dans tes plans, toujours sur le devant de la scène, pas de grande évasion
Wouldn't keep you in my line up, line up, line up
Je ne te garderais pas dans ma liste, liste, liste
