I wanna be

Alguém me interne no paraíso
Preciso urgente dar um tempo por lá
O dia passa enquanto eu perco o juízo
Quem foi que inventou ?
Que era assim
Sorrisos plásticos,
Cumprindo seu papel,
Enfeitando um rosto de pedra!
Se a regra é
Ser tão simpático!
Mesmo que seja só,
Pra convencer toda a platéia.

I wanna be away from here
Quando essa bomba explodir!
I wanna be away from here
Quando essa bomba explodir!

Abraços vazios, olhares de gelo
Tão descartáveis quanto cascas no chão
Flashes capturam a melhor fachada
Mas quem vê foto, não vê coração!
Não quero mais fantoches ao redor
Agindo sempre assim
Só quando for conveniente
Pra ganhar bônus e somar pontos
À sua carteirinha de hipócrita oficial

I wanna be away from here
Quando essa bomba explodir
I wanna be away from here
Quando essa bomba explodir

Alguém me interne no paraíso
Preciso urgente dar um tempo por lá
O dia passa em quanto eu perco o juízo
Quem foi que inventou que era assim?
Sorrisos plásticos
Cumprindo seu papel
Enfeitando um rosto de pedra
Se a regra é ser tão simpático
Mesmo que seja só
Pra convencer toda a platéia

I wanna be away from here

I wanna be away from here
Quando essa bomba explodir

Quando essa bomba explodir

I wanna be¹

Can somebody please put me away in an asylum?
'Cause I need urgently to take some time off.
Days go by as I lose my mind.
Who was the one who created
this way of being:
Plastic-made smiles,
just fulfilling their role,
adorning a stone face!
But the rule is
being such a nice person!
Even if it is just
to convince all the public.

I wanna be away from here
When this bomb blows up!
I wanna be away from here
When this bomb blows up!

Empty hugs, cold looks,
they all are as disposable as shells on the ground.
Flashes capture the best look,
but the one who sees the picture can't see the heart.
I don't want puppets around me anymore
always acting like that.
Just when it is convenient
to earn bonuses and add points
to your Official Hypocrite card.

I wanna be away from here
When this bomb blows up!
I wanna be away from here
When this bomb blows up!

Some suggestions Smile
Verse 1, line 1: 'put me away/lock me up/ shut me away...' - 'intern' isn't commonly used...
Verse 1, line 2: 'take time off/take some time off'
Verse 1, line 6: perhaps 'sorrisos plásticos' could be translated as 'fake smiles'
Verse 3, line 1: 'cold looks'
Verse 3, line 2: '...as disposable as
Verse, line 6: 'always acting like that'

Thank you for the suggestions Smile

Indeed I was not sure about translating "internar" (intern), cause I had never seen it before, then that was just a shot in the dark. Tongue

And, I still prefer to keep "plastic-made smiles" in order to keep the same way as in the song. I wasn't sure if I could write like that, but I saw a song that this expression was used and it has the same meaning like this song.

Ok...I think we do have the expression 'plastic smile' in English anyway Smile

Yes, it refers to those dolls, specially Barbies, which usually has 'perfect' smiles, and people who worry too much about the way how they look like usually have or want to have such plastic smiles = fake. This is the thing that the singer/person does not like. Smile
