Não Te Odeio Lyrics in English Diogo Piçarra

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Não Te Odeio by Diogo Piçarra from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I feel the world's getting more and more fake
Or is it me who's just gotten older?
Because nobody was born to be perfect
But deep down everyone hides their flaws
So sorry, I don't think I've got what it takes
To pretend I like you, so don't take it to heart
I'm tired of being the nice guy, so I won't let
You affect me, deep down I don't hate you!
I just don't want you around anymore!
You're the only person I don't want!
I don't need you in my life anymore!
But I don't hate you!
I just don't want you around anymore!
You're the only person I don't want!
I don't need you in my life anymore!
But I don't hate you!
Verse 2
So many clueless people
That I lose track
Verse 2
Of so many nights out
That I don't even know whose hand to hold
Verse 2
I only cared if they liked me or not
But now I just wanna know who's with me or not
Only the ones who know me
Are the ones who deserve me
Verse 2
And only the ones I care about
Are the ones I respect
Verse 2
I know I've got lots of flaws
Deep down, way deep down I don't hate you
I just don't want you around anymore!
You're the only person I don't want!
I don't need you in my life anymore!
But I don't hate you!
I just don't want you around anymore!
You're the only person I don't want!
I don't need you in my life anymore!
I don't hate you
Outro
I feel the world's getting more and more fake
Or is it me who's just gotten older?
Because nobody was born to be perfect
But deep down everyone hides their flaws
So sorry, I don't think I've got what it takes
To pretend I like you, so don't take it to heart
I'm tired of being the nice guy, so I won't let
You affect me, deep down I don't hate you!

SONG MEANING

“Não Te Odeio” is Diogo Piçarra’s vibrant declaration of emotional independence. Tired of a world that feels ever more fake, the singer admits he has outgrown the need to please everyone. He lists the masks people wear, recognizes his own flaws, then draws a clear boundary: I do not hate you, I just do not want you around. The chorus repeats this mantra like a friendly but firm goodbye, turning what could be a bitter break-up into an honest act of self-care.

Instead of dwelling on resentment, the song celebrates choosing authenticity over politeness. Piçarra shifts his focus from “Do they like me?” to “Who is truly with me?” and invites listeners to do the same. It is a catchy reminder that letting go does not have to mean hating someone — sometimes the healthiest move is simply stepping away and saving your energy for the people who genuinely earn it.
