Ambush

Why do you say that to me if you aren't able (to do it)?

I will see you outside and we'll see who will beat who¹

Why do you say that to me if you aren't able (to do it)?

I will see you outside and we'll see who will beat who

Who will win?

Say your prayers and don't count on anybody

Take advantage of each sight as if tomorrow doesn't exist, because

it seems like such a normal day.

But, in each corner you may falter, so

Try to take care of yourself, boy.

Now we're almost² even

If you haven't realized it yet, this is an...

Ambush, a trap

If every action creates a reaction

So, you knew that this time would come and

even so you hid yourself

And me, closer and closer, this game is mine

So, it's checkmate, boy

The party (fun) is over for you

If you haven't realized it yet, this is an...

Ambush, a trap

Why do you say that to me if you aren't able (to do it)?

I will see you outside and we'll see who will beat who

Why do you say that to me if you aren't able (to do it)?

I will see you outside and we'll see who will beat who

Who will win?

Say your prayers and don't count on anybody

Take advantage of each sight as if tomorrow doesn't exist

Anmärkning:

¹ I first had written 'whom', but I think it sounds very formal, I believe 'who' is fine, but if you find it's not please tell me :)

² I know that the correct expression for this is 'Now we're even', but it has a 'almost' in the sentence, so I couldn't forget it.

Thank you! :) And I think the translation is much better after the changes whose suggestions were provided by Vimto (Ni) :)

Nice translation :) some suggestions:
verse 1, line 2: it sounds fine as it is...'whom' is very formal, it's falling out of use in spoken English
verse 1, line 4: 'who will beat' doesn't make sense and sounds incomplete, maybe 'who will win' instead?

verse 2, line 3: the word order is a bit odd (although you could argue it's poetic ;)) 'it seems like such a normal day'
verse 2, line 5: I found boy/guy/fellow for 'rapaz', 'buddy' is more like 'friend
verse 2, line 6: 'now we're almost even' sounds absolutely fine

verse 3: 'a trap' to follow on from 'an ambush'

verse 4, line 3: 'cada vez mais perto' -> closer and closer/ever closer/increasingly closer

Done :)

I am not sure if Pitty wanted to sound poetic when writting that part, so your suggestion is valid :D
I had not written the 'a' before 'trap' because this article does not exist in the song, but I think it is necessary in English because of the article changing ('a' and 'an').

Thank you :)
