Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Não Me Importo by Carolina Deslandes from Portuguese to English.

You never changed

You got worse as years went by

You don't apologize anymore

You don't regret anymore

And did you ever regret it?

Doesn't matter!

I'm the one who regretted

Living by your side for so many moons dreaming of not being here

'Look hard at what you could've been'

I say to this mirror

Time's a thief

Who sneaks into the house in the dead of night

And steals our seconds before we notice

I say goodbye to you

Looking at you and knowing I don't belong to you anymore

And I say goodbye to myself too

Stays with you in this house the person without a voice, without will

And without fire you wanted to turn me into

I feel freedom at my fingertips

And I know I'm made of scraps

With more courage than fear

One of these days you'll knock on my door

To say you don't sleep anymore from thinking about me so much

I shrug and yell I don't care

I always warned you you'd end up like this

And now you'll tell everyone it's my fault

And that in me lives the reason for your sorrow

Only I know how much I've cried alone

If you wanna give my name to your rage, hey

I don't mind

Is that what you like, yeah?

You like being hit, yeah?

No, let me go!

Go away, disappear!

You're only at ease when I hit you, is that it?

One of these days you'll come to my house

Saying you don't eat anymore from thinking about me so much

I laugh and ask: Weren't you the one who thought

You'd be better off when we reached the end?

And now you'll tell everyone it's my fault

And that in me lives the reason for your sorrow

Only I know how much I've cried alone

If you wanna give my name to your rage, hey

I don't mind

I was reborn in the goodbye, can't you see?

I walk on with my head high, can't you see

Your rage's scream doesn't wake me

And if you didn't feel the snap of the rope

I don't mind

retalhos — patches / scraps

Retalhos literally translates to "patches" or "scraps" of fabric. It's a visually evocative word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics.

In this song, the singer uses it metaphorically to describe herself: "sei que sou feita de retalhos / Com mais de coragem do que de medo" (I know I am made of patches / With more courage than fear). This powerful image suggests she is a composite of experiences, perhaps broken and mended, but ultimately strong and resilient, pieced together with courage.

Carolina Deslandes turns heartbreak into a victory dance in "Não Me Importo". The narrator looks straight at a partner who never grew up, never said sorry, and even became worse with time. She confesses that her biggest mistake was staying, letting the "thief" called time steal precious seconds while she lived as a muted version of herself. With striking honesty, she stares in the mirror and imagines the life she could have had, then finally packs away the guilt, the silence, and the fear.

The chorus lights the fuse. Repeating "Eu não me importo" ("I don’t care"), Carolina flips her indifference into power. She predicts the ex will come crawling back, hungry and sleepless, eager to pin the blame on her. She simply shrugs. Courage now outweighs fear, and she walks out reborn, head high, fingers tingling with freedom. The song is a fiery anthem for anyone who has ever broken free from a toxic love and discovered that self-respect sounds a lot like "I don’t care."
