Eu Que Não Amo Você Lyrics in English Engenheiros do Hawaii

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Eu Que Não Amo Você by Engenheiros do Hawaii from Portuguese to English.
I who don't smoke wanted a cigarette
I who don't love you
I've aged ten years or more
In this last month
Verse 1
I felt longing, wanted to come back
To do the right thing
Here’s my place
Verse 1
But you know how hard it is to find
The right word
The right time to come back
The door open
Verse 2
The right time to arrive
I who don't smoke wanted a cigarette
I who don't love you
I've aged ten years or more
In this last month
I who don't drink asked for a cognac
To face the winter
That comes through the door
That you left open when you left
The truth is I danced without wanting to dance
And now I don't even know where my place is
Day and night nonstop I searched without finding
The right word
The right time to come back
The door open
The right time to arrive
I who don't smoke wanted a cigarette
I who don't love you
I've aged ten years or more
In this last month
I who don't drink asked for a cognac
To face the winter
That comes through the door
That you left open when you left
I who don't smoke asked for a cigarette
I who don't love you
I who don't smoke asked for a cigarette
I who don't love you
I've aged ten years or more
In this last month
I who don't drink wanted a cognac
To face the winter
That comes through the door
That you left open when you left

SONG MEANING

“Eu Que Não Amo Você” is a playful confession of denial written by Brazilian rock band Engenheiros do Hawaii. The storyteller keeps insisting, “I don’t smoke,” “I don’t drink,” “I don’t love you,” yet every line proves the opposite. Craving a cigarette, ordering a brandy, and admitting he has aged “ten years or more in the last month,” he reveals how heartbreak can flip our habits and identities upside down.

What makes the song so relatable is its search for the perfect moment to fix everything. He longs to step back through the door his lover left open, but he cannot find the right word, the right hour, the open door that will lead him home. Wrapped in catchy guitar lines and a gentle melody, the lyrics paint a humorous, bittersweet picture of someone who pretends to be strong while secretly shivering in an emotional winter. Listeners are invited to laugh at the narrator’s stubborn pride, feel the sting of his loneliness, and remember that admitting our true feelings is often the hardest—yet most liberating—step of all.
