Lyrics & translation
Verse
Phone rings, I stay on the couch.
Telefone toca, fico no sofá.
No more rushing out the door.
Sem mais pressa para sair.
The weekend plans are all mine.
Os planos de fim de semana são meus.
My quiet space feels so right.
Meu espaço calmo parece tão certo.
Chorus
A small party in my room.
Uma pequena festa no meu quarto.
Tonight I choose the guest list myself.
Hoje eu mesma escolho a lista de convidados.
A small party in my room.
Uma pequena festa no meu quarto.
Nobody called me after someone else cancelled.
Ninguém me chamou depois que outra pessoa cancelou.
Verse
Ice cubes clink in the glass.
Cubos de gelo tilintam no copo.
Vinyl playing a slow, sweet jazz.
Vinil tocando um jazz lento e doce.
Neighbors knock with wine and cheese.
Vizinhos batem com vinho e queijo.
Suddenly the hallway starts to dance.
De repente o corredor começa a dançar.
Chorus
A small party in my room.
Uma pequena festa no meu quarto.
Tonight I choose the guest list myself.
Hoje eu mesma escolho a lista de convidados.
A small party in my room.
Uma pequena festa no meu quarto.
Nobody called me after someone else cancelled.
Ninguém me chamou depois que outra pessoa cancelou.
Verse
No strangers, just the local faces.
Sem estranhos, apenas os rostos locais.
The best night stayed right here.
A melhor noite ficou bem aqui.
Chorus
A small party in my room.
Uma pequena festa no meu quarto.
Tonight I choose the guest list myself.
Hoje eu mesma escolho a lista de convidados.
A small party in my room.
Uma pequena festa no meu quarto.
Nobody called me after someone else cancelled.
Ninguém me chamou depois que outra pessoa cancelou.
Outro
I tell the caller I already have plans.
Digo a quem ligou que já tenho planos.
We set next Friday before the neighbors leave.
Marcamos a próxima sexta antes dos vizinhos saírem.
