Lyrics Translation

Yeah, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, diggy, yo

I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this
Gotta be something for me to write this
Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
Signed, sealed, delivered for us to grow together
Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I ain't gon' solve 'em, 'cause I probably did it too
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Some niggas recognize the light but they can't handle the glare
You know I ain't the type to walk around with matching shirts
And relationship is effort, I will match your work
I wanna be the one to make you happiest and hurt you the most
They say the end is near, it's important that we close
To the most high
Regardless of what happen, on Him let's rely

There are times, when you'll need someone (yeah)
I will be by your side (for sure, for sure)
There is a light that shines
Special for you and me

Yo, yo, check it
It's important we communicate
And tune the fate of this union to the right pitch
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There's so much in a name and so much more in you
Few understand the union of woman and man
And sex and a tingle is where they assumin' it land
But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write
For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light
If heaven had a height you would be that tall
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
Let's stick to understanding and we won't fall
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
So I pray every day more than anything
Friends will stay as we begin to lay
This foundation for a family, love ain't simple
Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually?
Granted we known each other for some time
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine

There are times, when you'll need someone
I will be by your side, oh, darling
There is a light that shines (yeah)
Special for you and me

Yo, yo, check it
It's kind of fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
And I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
Plus you shit pop when it's time to, thinking you fresh
Suggesting beats I should rhyme to
At times when I'm lost I try to find you
You know to give me space when it's time to
My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness
Truthfully it's hard tryna practice abstinence
The time we committed love, it was real good
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal
It's how I must treat you
As my reflection in light I'ma lead you
And whatever's right, I'ma feed you
Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da
Yo, I tell you the rest when I see you, peace

There are times, when you'll need someone
I will be by your side, oh
There is a light that shines
Special for you and me

Take my chances before they pass
Pass me by, oh, darling
You need to look at the other side
You'll agree

Yeah, doo, doo, doo
Sim, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, diggy, yo
Doo, doo, diggy, yo
I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this
Eu nunca conheci um amor, amor, amor, um amor assim
Gotta be something for me to write this
Tem que ser algo para eu escrever isso
Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
Rainha, não te vejo há um minuto
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
Escrevi esta carta e finalmente decidi enviá-la
Signed, sealed, delivered for us to grow together
Assinado, selado, entregue para nós crescermos juntos
Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
O amor não tem limites, vamos gastá-lo devagar para sempre
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
Sei que seu coração está desgastado pelo que os caras fizeram com você
I ain't gon' solve 'em, 'cause I probably did it too
Eu não vou resolvê-los, porque provavelmente também fiz isso
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Por causa de você, sentimentos que eu trato com cuidado
Some niggas recognize the light but they can't handle the glare
Alguns caras reconhecem a luz, mas não conseguem lidar com o brilho
You know I ain't the type to walk around with matching shirts
Você sabe que eu não sou do tipo que anda por aí com camisas combinando
And relationship is effort, I will match your work
E o relacionamento é esforço, eu vou igualar o seu trabalho
I wanna be the one to make you happiest and hurt you the most
Eu quero ser o único a te fazer mais feliz e te machucar mais
They say the end is near, it's important that we close
Dizem que o fim está próximo, é importante que estejamos próximos
To the most high
Ao mais alto
Regardless of what happen, on Him let's rely
Independentemente do que aconteça, vamos confiar Nele
There are times, when you'll need someone (yeah)
Há momentos em que você precisará de alguém (sim)
I will be by your side (for sure, for sure)
Eu estarei ao seu lado (com certeza, com certeza)
There is a light that shines
Há uma luz que brilha
Special for you and me
Especial para você e para mim
Yo, yo, check it
Yo, yo, confira
It's important we communicate
É importante que nos comuniquemos
And tune the fate of this union to the right pitch
E sintonize o destino desta união na nota certa
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
Eu nunca te chamo de minha vadia ou mesmo de minha gata
There's so much in a name and so much more in you
Há tanto em um nome e muito mais em você
Few understand the union of woman and man
Poucos entendem a união de mulher e homem
And sex and a tingle is where they assumin' it land
E sexo e um formigamento é onde eles assumem que termina
But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write
Mas isso é passageiro, para você e o céu eu escrevo
For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light
Nestas frias noites de Chi, lua, você é minha luz
If heaven had a height you would be that tall
Se o céu tivesse uma altura, você seria tão alta
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
Do gueto à cafeteria, através de você eu vejo tudo
Let's stick to understanding and we won't fall
Vamos nos ater ao entendimento e não cairemos
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
Para melhor ou pior, espero que você me ligue
So I pray every day more than anything
Então eu rezo todos os dias mais do que qualquer coisa
Friends will stay as we begin to lay
Amigos ficarão enquanto começamos a construir
This foundation for a family, love ain't simple
Esta fundação para uma família, o amor não é simples
Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually?
Por que não pode ser algo que vale a pena ter que você trabalha anualmente?
Granted we known each other for some time
Concedido, nos conhecemos há algum tempo
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine
Não leva um dia inteiro para reconhecer a luz do sol
There are times, when you'll need someone
Há momentos em que você precisará de alguém
I will be by your side, oh, darling
Eu estarei ao seu lado, oh, querida
There is a light that shines (yeah)
Há uma luz que brilha (sim)
Special for you and me
Especial para você e para mim
Yo, yo, check it
Yo, yo, confira
It's kind of fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
É meio legal você ouvir mais do que hip-hop
And I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
E eu posso te pegar na mistura de beleza para brechó
Plus you shit pop when it's time to, thinking you fresh
Além disso, você arrasa quando é hora, pensando que está fresca
Suggesting beats I should rhyme to
Sugerindo batidas que eu deveria rimar
At times when I'm lost I try to find you
Às vezes, quando estou perdido, tento te encontrar
You know to give me space when it's time to
Você sabe me dar espaço quando é hora
My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness
O dicionário do meu coração te define, é amor e felicidade
Truthfully it's hard tryna practice abstinence
Verdadeiramente, é difícil tentar praticar a abstinência
The time we committed love, it was real good
O tempo que nos comprometemos com o amor, foi muito bom
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
Tinha que ser para eu chegar e ainda me sentir bem
I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal
Eu sei que o sexo não vai te manter, mas como minha igual
It's how I must treat you
É assim que eu devo te tratar
As my reflection in light I'ma lead you
Como meu reflexo na luz, vou te guiar
And whatever's right, I'ma feed you
E o que for certo, vou te alimentar
Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da
Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da
Yo, I tell you the rest when I see you, peace
Yo, eu te conto o resto quando te ver, paz
There are times, when you'll need someone
Há momentos em que você precisará de alguém
I will be by your side, oh
Eu estarei ao seu lado, oh
There is a light that shines
Há uma luz que brilha
Special for you and me
Especial para você e para mim
Take my chances before they pass
Aproveito minhas chances antes que elas passem
Pass me by, oh, darling
Passe por mim, oh, querida

Você precisa olhar para o outro lado
You'll agree

Few understand the union of woman and man
Pochi capiscono l'unione di donna e uomo
And sex and a tingle is where they assumin' it land
E il sesso e un formicolio è dove presumono che atterri
But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write
