Se Não For Por Amor Lyrics in English Amado Batista

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Não For Por Amor by Amado Batista from Portuguese to English.
Eu não quero me enganar de novo
I don't want to deceive myself again
Não quero me machucar de novo, não
I don't want to hurt myself again, no
Quero não
I don't want to
Eu preciso proteger meu coração
I need to protect my heart
Eu não quero lhe entregar meu corpo
I don't want to give you my body
Pra depois me arrebentar de novo na solidão
Just to be shattered again in loneliness
Tenho medo de embarcar noutra ilusão
I'm afraid of falling into another illusion
Tira os olhos dos meus olhos que eu não sou de aço
Take your eyes off mine, I'm not made of steel
Antes que eu enlouqueça e caia nos teus braços
Before I go crazy and fall into your arms
Não me tente desse jeito, pare com esse jogo
Don't tempt me like this, stop this game
Se não vou me queimar no teu fogo
Or else I'll burn in your fire
Se não for por amor
If it's not for love
É melhor não tentar me seduzir
It's better not to try to seduce me
Eu não sei se vai dar pra resistir
I don't know if I can resist
A carne é fraca e você é demais
The flesh is weak and you're too much
Se não for por amor
If it's not for love
Para de provocar meu coração
Stop provoking my heart
Já sofri, já chorei desilusão
I've already suffered, cried from disappointment
Brilhante falso eu não quero mais
I don't want any more false brilliance
Me diga que não vai brincar
Tell me you won't play
Se me disser que é por amor
If you tell me it's for love
Eu vou te amar
I will love you
Eu não quero lhe entregar meu corpo
I don't want to give you my body
Pra depois me arrebentar de novo na solidão
Just to be shattered again in loneliness
Tenho medo de embarcar noutra ilusão
I'm afraid of falling into another illusion
Tira os olhos dos meus olhos que eu não sou de aço
Take your eyes off mine, I'm not made of steel
Antes que eu enlouqueça e caia nos teus braços
Before I go crazy and fall into your arms
Não me tente desse jeito, pare com esse jogo
Don't tempt me like this, stop this game
Se não vou me queimar no teu fogo
Or else I'll burn in your fire
Se não for por amor
If it's not for love
É melhor não tentar me seduzir
It's better not to try to seduce me
Eu não sei se vai dar pra resistir
I don't know if I can resist
A carne é fraca e você é demais
The flesh is weak and you're too much
Se não for por amor
If it's not for love
Pare de provocar meu coração
Stop provoking my heart
Já sofri, já chorei desilusão
I've already suffered, cried from disappointment
Brilhante falso eu não quero mais
I don't want any more false brilliance
Me diga que não vai brincar
Tell me you won't play
Se me disser que é por amor
If you tell me it's for love
Eu vou te amar
I will love you
Se me disser que é por amor
If you tell me it's for love
Eu vou te amar
I will love you
