Lyrics

Verse 1 / Verso 1

(00:13) Ela desmontava qualquer coisa

She could take anything apart

(00:19) E montava de novo / ainda melhor

And put it back together / even better

(00:27) Coração não interessava / Ela manjava de motor

Hearts didn’t interest her / She knew engines

(00:35) đŸ‘©Mas um dia, intrigada: “Por que nĂŁo manja de ferramentas. Te vi na moto. Um raio. VocĂȘ voa."

(00:35) đŸ‘©But one day, curious: "How do you not know your tools. I’ve seen you ride. Lightning. You fly."

(00:45) Eu falei...

I said...

Chorus / RefrĂŁo

(00:47) “VocĂȘ entende ferramentas / eu velocidade

“You know tools / I know speed

(00:51) Como funciona / NĂŁo ligo / SĂł sei como isso bate

I don’t care how it works / Just how it feels

(00:58) Só sei como isso bate (Whoa!)”

I only know how it feels (Whoa!)”

Verso 2

(01:02)🧑“Sou meio de fora / Moto me mantĂ©m longe da solidĂŁo

(01:02)🧑"I'm a bit of an outsider / I ride to keep myself company

(01:10) Como funciona / Não ligo / Velocidade - adoro a sensação."

I don’t care how it works / Speed - I just love the feeling."

(01:17) O pingente dela: uma mini chave / Eu ri

The charm on her bracelet: a tiny wrench / I laughed

(01:20) đŸ‘©â€œO quĂȘ.” / 👹“A chave.”

(01:20) đŸ‘©"What." / 👹"The wrench."

(01:24) đŸ‘©â€œNostalgia”, ela falou, meio grossa /👹“Tem a sua cara.”

(01:24) đŸ‘©"Nostalgia," she said gruffly /👹"It suits you."

(01:26) Ela arrancou / e jogou pra mim / đŸ‘©â€œPra dar sorte.”

She snapped it off / and tossed it to me / đŸ‘©"For good luck."

Chorus / RefrĂŁo

(01:30) VocĂȘ entende ferramentas / eu velocidade

You know tools / I know speed

(01:35) Como funciona / NĂŁo ligo / SĂł sei como isso bate

I don’t care how it works / Just how it feels

(01:42) SĂł sei como isso bate (Whoa!)

I only know how it feels (Whoa!)

Bridge / Ponte

(01:45) Aquele verão


That summer...

(01:48) O prĂȘmio da grande corrida / Uma mĂĄquina linda

The prize for the big race / A beautiful machine

(01:52) A Tiger 110 brilhava / Velocidade e cromođŸïž

The Tiger 110 gleamed / All chrome and speedđŸïž

(01:58) Ah... Eu queria aquilo...

Ah... I wanted it...

(02:00) Ela encarou a Tiger / Do outro lado do vidro

She stared at the Tiger / From the other side of the glass

(02:04) Eu saquei na hora / Que tinha alguém

I realized right away / That there was someone

(02:08) Quem queria mais do que eu...

Who wanted it even more than me


Verse 4 / Verso 4

(02:11) Piloto contra piloto / Calor absurdo / o dia da corrida

Rider vs. rider / The heat was intense / on race day

(02:15) NinguĂ©m ali queria perder / Tudo era pura velocidade e fĂșria

No one there was there to lose / It was all pure speed and fury

(02:18) NĂłs dois juntos / derrubamos todo mundo / um por um

Between us / we knocked them out like pins

(02:21) No fim / Os dois Ășltimos na pista:

Finally / The last two left on the track:

(02:24) A mecñnica / E eu


The mechanic / And me...

(02:26) Ela viu a chavezinha / presa na minha jaqueta

She spotted the tiny wrench / pinned on my jacket

(02:31) O rosto dela mudou / mas ela nĂŁo disse nada

Her expression changed / but she said nothing

Bridge / Ponte

(02:34) O tiro largou / Voamos

The shot fired / We flew

(02:38) Em um piscar de olhos, eu soube: a Tiger era minha

In the blink of an eye, I knew: the Tiger was mine

(02:44) A linha de chegada / a trĂȘs segundos

The finish line / was three seconds away

(02:46) Mas eu lembrei / do olhar dela / do outro lado do vidro

But I remembered / her look / from the other side of the glass

(02:49) E sem pensar / eu bati no freio

And without a second thought / I slammed the brake

Chorus / RefrĂŁo

(02:54) VocĂȘ entende ferramentas / eu velocidade

You know tools / I know speed

(02:59) Como funciona / NĂŁo ligo / SĂł sei como isso bate

I don’t care how this works / Just how it feels

(03:05) SĂł sei como isso bate (Whoa!)

I only know how it feels (Whoa!)

Verse 5 / Verso 5

(03:09) A multidĂŁo - um borrĂŁo / SilĂȘncio total

The crowd was a blur / Stunned silence

(03:12) A um palmo da chegada / ela largou a moto

A foot from the finish line / she dropped her bike

(03:15) Ela voltou andando / até mim / no asfalto

She strolled back / to me / on the asphalt

(03:20) Ela estendeu a mĂŁo: "À primeira vista / eu sabia que vocĂȘ era encrenca."

She held out her hand: "At first sight / I knew you were trouble."

(03:27) E, me puxando para ficar de pé / ela me beijou

And, pulling me up to my feet / she kissed me

Verse 6 / Verso 6

(03:31) De volta Ă  garagem / Sabia que ela ia falar

Back at the garage / I knew she’d tell me

(03:34)đŸ‘©Enfim: “Eu sei o que vocĂȘ fez.”

(03:34)đŸ‘©Finally: "I know what you did."

(03:38)🧑"Por que nĂŁo levou atĂ© o fim."

(03:38)🧑"Why didn’t you take it all the way."

(03:41) Ela me ignorou / limpando um paralama

She ignored me / cleaning a fender

(03:45) Então, baixinho: “Porque eu te quis mais.”

Then mumbled roughly: "Because I wanted you more."

Chorus / RefrĂŁo

(03:50) VocĂȘ entende ferramentas / eu velocidade

You know tools / I know speed

(03:55) Como funciona / NĂŁo ligo / SĂł sei como isso bate

I don’t care how this works / Just how it feels

(04:01) SĂł sei como isso bate (Wow!)

I only know how it feels (Wow!)

Verse 7 / Verso 7

(04:05) Perdemos / mas ganhamos

We both lost / but we both won

(04:09) Foi o que pareceu

That's the way it felt

(04:12) Quando ela, do nada / sorriu pra mim

As she unexpectedly / smiled at me

Outro

(04:17) Mas ele adorava uma boa histĂłria / o patrocinador

But the sponsor of the race / who loved a good story

(04:20) Ele nos deu dois Tigers / e nos desejou boa sorte

Presented Tigers to both of us / and wished us good luck

(04:23) Em cima da maior loja de autopeças

On top of the biggest auto parts store

(04:26) Posamos, sorrindo / pro anĂșncio outdoor

We posed, smiling / for the billboard ad

(04:31) Bem
 eu estava sorrindo

Well... I was smiling

(04:34) Ela fazia sua pequena careta

She did her little grimace

(04:36) A carinha dura / que protege sua alma suave

The tough little face / that protects her soft soul

(04:42) E isso ainda me deixa / com os joelhos fracos


And it still makes me / weak in the knees...

Chorus / RefrĂŁo

(04:46) VocĂȘ entende ferramentas / eu velocidade

You know tools / I know speed

(05:00) Como funciona / NĂŁo ligo / SĂł sei como isso bate

I don’t care how this works / Just how it feels

(04:58) SĂł sei como isso bate (Whoa!)

I only know how this feels (Whoa!)

Chorus / RefrĂŁo

(05:01) VocĂȘ entende ferramentas / eu velocidade

You know tools / I know speed

(05:05) Como funciona / NĂŁo ligo / SĂł sei como isso bate

I don’t care how this works / Just how it feels

(05:12) SĂł sei como isso bate / SĂł sei como isso bate...

I only know how this feels / I only know how this feels...

Notes: A daredevil loner and the gruff mechanic who patches up his motorcycle face off against each other in biggest race of the summer.

Add'l

*🏍A Triumph Tiger 110 (T110) in mid-1950s cost approx. USD 900.

In 2026 dollars: USD 11K -13K.

* The song is also about the fact that everyone has a back story:

🧑The daredevil: Self-assured, unbeatable, loves speed.

Moved so many times it was hard to establish friendships. His love for racing makes him feel at ease - and less alone.

đŸ‘©The mechanic: Brilliant. Her stoic toughness makes it daunting to approach her.

The streets she was raised in were not kind. She couldn’t afford uni. Working as a mechanic is her only marketable skill.

🔧The wrench: People see a dingy bracelet.

Each charm is a memento for someone she has lost.
