Escolhi Você Lyrics in English Clarice Falcão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Escolhi Você by Clarice Falcão from Portuguese to English.
I chose you
Because it isn't that easy to choose
There's a lot of bad people
And when they're not bad
It's 'cause they don't like me
So it ends up that in the end there's only you
Verse 1
I chose you
Because there weren't that many people to be mine
Look how lucky you got
The lesser evil
Because you're the best
Or rather, the least bad to choose
In my life there have already been
Fifty options for love
Forty-nine gave up
And you were the one left
Verse 2
I chose you
Hoping I won't regret choosing you
Until another shows up
Don't be sad
I chose with my heart
Also for lack of choice, but it was you
In my life there have already been
Fifty options for love
Forty-nine gave up
And you were the one left
I chose you
Because it isn't that easy to choose
There's a lot of bad people
And when they're not bad
It's 'cause they don't like me
So it ends up that in the end there's only you
Did you like these lyrics?
SONG MEANING

Clarice Falcão turns romance on its head in Escolhi Você (I Chose You), serving a playful love confession that is half compliment, half comedic shrug. The singer lists the chaotic landscape of dating: lots of “bad people,” others who simply are not interested, and a shrinking pool of viable matches. Against this backdrop she proclaims, with tongue firmly in cheek, that her partner is the “least worst” option who just happened to be left standing. It is a clever twist on the traditional love song, where devotion comes not from grand destiny but from statistical survival.

Beneath the humor lies a relatable commentary on modern relationships. Clarice admits she chose “from the heart,” yet her frank honesty about limited choices highlights the insecurities and practical calculations many people feel but rarely say aloud. The result is both funny and strangely endearing: a celebration of imperfect love that acknowledges flaws, scarcity, and accidental luck, while still sounding sweet enough to make you smile and sing along.
