Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Irreversível by CPM 22 from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

Life smiles at me and then

I pick up the pieces I left on the floor

Thousands of memories

Turn everything into songs

And this one is for you

If I could undo everything wrong between us

And erase every memory of you that still exists in me

I know nothing I say will bring

What's far closer to me this time

Because liking somebody will always be like this

Irreversible

Verse 2

Life laughs at me and then

I realize how sad it is to wait for you in vain

But I find the strength to sing

Maybe you can hear me

I just wanted to tell you

If I could undo everything wrong between us

And erase every memory of you that still exists in me

I know nothing I say will bring

What's far closer to me this time

Because liking somebody will always be like this

Irreversible

With every step I take forward

I feel my body going backwards

And with every hour I live pointlessly

It seems to make me want you more and more

I carry in me only a smile

Arms wide open to welcome you

But I always end up sad and alone

Looking for a way to understand

If it's irreversible for me

Then it's irreversible for you

If everything has to be this way

Then let it be

But I just wanted to tell you

If I could undo everything wrong between us

And erase every memory of you that still exists in me

I know nothing I say will bring

What's far closer to me this time

Because liking somebody will always be like this

Irreversible is only the end

For me

SONG MEANING

Irreversível by CPM 22 is a raw snapshot of someone trying to rebuild life after a breakup. The narrator gathers the shattered pieces of the past, turning each memory into music in the hope the ex-lover might still be listening. He dreams of undoing every mistake, wiping every trace of her from his mind, and closing the distance that now feels endless. Yet, he already senses that love, once broken, often stays that way… irreversible.

In the second half, the song zooms in on the tug-of-war between moving forward and being pulled back by longing. Every step ahead feels like two steps back, and every empty hour only magnifies his desire. The singer opens his arms for a reunion that never comes, finally admitting that if their love truly is irreversible, both must accept the ending and let it be. The repeated word “irreversível” lands like a final stamp, turning personal heartache into an anthem for anyone who has faced a goodbye that cannot be rewound.
