Não Perco Meu Tempo Lyrics in English Anitta

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Não Perco Meu Tempo by Anitta from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Look, I told you
It won't work like this
I already tried and warned you
You'd better ease up
And you've got an attitude problem
Again thinking you know everything
And make the world spin
I even stopped so you could pass
And when I get tired
I don't waste, I don't waste my time listening to you
And if it's just to complain
I don't waste, I don't waste my time seeing you
And if you break up
I don't waste, I don't waste my time if you call me
You regret it and wanna come back
I don't waste, I don't waste my time listening to you, ah!
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore
Verse 2
Go on, baby, think it through
Nobody else does it like me
It's worse for you
When I ignore you
And you've got an attitude problem
Don't go thinking you know everything
And make the world spin
I even stopped so you could pass
And when I get tired
I don't waste, I don't waste my time listening to you
And if it's just to complain
I don't waste, I don't waste my time seeing you
And if you break up
I don't waste, I don't waste my time if you call me
You regret it and wanna come back
I don't waste, I don't waste my time listening to you, ah!
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore
I already know it's not worth it
And I try to leave the scene
Between us two there's only one problem
Your pride's a dilemma
And you've got an attitude problem
Again thinking you know everything
You should change
Or I'm gonna leave
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore
I don't waste my time anymore

SONG MEANING

“Não Perco Meu Tempo” is Anitta’s musical way of saying I’m done with your drama. Right from the opening lines, she calls out a partner who is arrogant, bossy, and convinced the world revolves around him. Instead of begging for change, Anitta flips the script: she vows to stop answering calls, stop listening to complaints, and stop giving even a second more of her precious time. The repetitive chorus — “Não perco meu tempo mais” (“I won’t waste my time anymore”) — turns into a catchy mantra of self-respect.

Behind the playful beat, the song delivers a clear message of empowerment. Anitta reminds us that knowing your worth means setting boundaries and walking away when someone’s attitude becomes toxic. It is a confident anthem for anyone ready to hit “ignore,” reclaim their schedule, and dance their way to happier days.
