Proibida Pra Mim Lyrics in English Charlie Brown Jr.

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Proibida Pra Mim by Charlie Brown Jr. from Portuguese to English.
She thought my hair was funny
Off-limits to me? No way
She said she couldn't stay
But she took what I said seriously
I'll do everything I can
I'll steal this woman for myself
I can call you anytime
But I don't even know your name!
If not me, who'll make you happy?
If not me, who'll make you happy? War!
If not me, who'll make you happy?
If not me, who'll make you happy? War!
I caught myself thinking about you
About everything I wanted to tell you
On an especially good night
There's nothing else we can do
I'll do everything I can
I'll steal this woman for myself
I can call you anytime
But I don't even know your name!
If not me, who'll make you happy?
If not me, who'll make you happy? War!
If not me, who'll make you happy?
If not me, who'll make you happy? War!
If not me, who'll make you happy?
If not me, who'll make you happy? War!
If not me, who'll make you happy?
If not me, who'll make you happy? War!

SONG MEANING

“Proibida Pra Mim” is Charlie Brown Jr.’s skate-punk love letter to that irresistible person everyone tells you to stay away from. The singer spots a girl who laughs at his wild hair and immediately brands her as proibida – off-limits – yet he refuses to accept the rule. Over buzzing guitars he vows, almost like a dare: he will “steal” her for himself, call her at any time, make her happy, even though he does not even know her name. This mix of confidence and cluelessness captures the impulsive rush of teenage attraction, when desire feels like a heroic mission and boundaries are just extra obstacles to jump on a skateboard.

The repeated question “Se não eu, quem vai fazer você feliz?” (“If not me, who’s going to make you happy?”) turns the song into a playful battleground – half-flirt, half-battle cry – where love is treated as a daring adventure. Under the swagger, there is also a hint of vulnerability: the singer pictures quiet nights, daydreams about what he wants to tell her, and admits he is caught thinking about her. “Proibida Pra Mim” invites listeners to relive that electric moment when passion, rebellion, and youthful optimism crash together, proving once again that sometimes the best stories begin with a rule just waiting to be broken.
