Bolo De Rolo Lyrics in English DUDA BEAT

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bolo De Rolo by DUDA BEAT from Portuguese to English.
Intro
I'm not gonna look
for happiness in nobody else
Verse 1
because I'm tired, my love
of this search for nothing
that's only here in my head
Yesterday when I ran into you
you told me really quietly
'I wanted a girlfriend'
and my mom taught me
that if you're gonna play with love
you can't be desperate
so I
just wanna say that to me you
whatever
and I'm not gonna pretend that to me you
is alright
I just wanna say that to me you
whatever
and I'm not gonna pretend that to me you
is alright
Verse 2
so much time has passed
since you left
Verse 2
that I even asked myself
if I liked you
and if I knew you
Verse 2
and if the smell was good
and if you remembered what it was
so I
so I
so I
so I
so I just wanna say that to me you
whatever
and I'm not gonna pretend that to me you
is alright
I just wanna say that to me you
whatever
and I'm not gonna pretend that to me you
is alright
is alright
is alright
is alright
I'm not gonna look for happiness
in nobody else

SONG MEANING

Picture the famous Pernambuco dessert bolo de rolo: thin layers of sponge cake wrapped around sweet guava paste. DUDA BEAT uses that image to slice into the layers of a past relationship. The singer starts by announcing a new rule: she will not chase happiness in anyone else. She is done kneading herself into someone’s expectations, especially an ex who once whispered that he "just wanted a girlfriend."

The chorus flips the script with a playful shrug—“pra mim você tanto faz” (you make no difference to me). After plenty of time apart, she questions whether she ever really liked him, remembered his scent, or even knew him at all. Instead of heartbreak, we get a confident declaration of self-worth, sprinkled with irony and breezy indifference. Bolo de Rolo turns what could have been a sad breakup song into a sweet anthem of independence, reminding listeners that true happiness starts in your own kitchen, not someone else’s plate.
