Álcool Lyrics in English Jão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Álcool by Jão from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I wanna say this booze going down
boosts me too much
At the end of the night, I call you and
I don't want anybody else
Baby, baby, baby
The more I drink, the lonelier I get
I already know all your problems by heart
I don't wanna drink like this anymore
hoping to have you all to myself
Verse 2
I wanna say this booze going down
It numbs me too much
It's the end of the night, all my friends left me behind
Baby, baby, baby
The more I drink, the lonelier I get
I already know all your problems by heart
I don't wanna drink like this anymore
hoping to have you all to myself
The more I drink, the lonelier I get
I already know all your problems by heart
I don't wanna drink like this anymore
hoping to have you all to myself

SONG MEANING

Ever tried to drown a crush in a cocktail? In “Álcool,” Brazilian singer Jão admits that every swig meant to make him braver only makes the room emptier. With each glass, he spirals deeper into solitude, replaying the other person’s problems in his mind like a worn-out playlist and hoping that, eventually, the buzz will summon them back.

The song is a bittersweet confession: alcohol feels powerful in the moment, yet it magnifies the ache of unreturned affection. Jão exposes that tug-of-war between liquid courage and emotional hangover, turning a late-night party anthem into a relatable tale of longing, regret, and the realization that no amount of booze can fill the space someone else once occupied.
