Ficamos Por Aqui Lyrics in English David Carreira

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ficamos Por Aqui by David Carreira from Portuguese to English.
Girl, I know, I already tried
But you want it like this
Let's stop here
Girl, hey, I'm already tired
Of changing for you
Let's stop here
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
Hey, I'd rather tell you
That I'm to blame for everything that happened
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
Hey, girl, it won't work
No, no, it won't
Let's stop here
Let's stop here
Let's stop here
Verse 1
Girl, it won't work anymore
When I come in you leave
It's not worth it anymore
Let's stop here
Let's switch off
Stop playing
With this feeling
Let's stop here
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
Hey, I'd rather tell you
That I'm to blame for everything that happened
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
Hey, girl, it won't work
No, no, it won't
Let's stop here
Let's stop here
Let's stop here
Bridge
If I give myself
You give me nothing
When I burn with passion
You let go of my hand
When I want
You don't take me seriously
I ask for love with passion
I can't anymore
Let's stop here
Let's end like this
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
Hey, girl, it won't work
No, no, it won't
Let's stop here
Let's stop here
Let's stop here

SONG MEANING

From the very first beat, "Ficamos Por Aqui" throws us into the final chapter of a romance that has lost its spark. Portuguese pop star David Carreira addresses his miúda (girl) head-on, declaring that he is done reshaping himself just to keep things afloat. The title phrase means “let’s stop here,” and he repeats it like a mantra, pairing it with the classic breakup line “não és tu, sou eu”“it’s not you, it’s me.” Behind the catchy, dance-ready rhythm lies a confession of frustration, resignation, and a dash of relief as he finally calls time on a relationship stuck in repeat.

The lyrics highlight their mismatch: when he gives passion, she gives “zero”; when he burns with desire, she drops his hand. This push-and-pull turns the track into a surprisingly uplifting breakup anthem – a reminder that knowing when to let go can be as empowering as falling in love. Danceable, honest, and refreshingly direct, the song invites listeners to move on, move forward, and maybe even move their feet while they’re at it.
