AMOR PIRATA Lyrics in English Jão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song AMOR PIRATA by Jão from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I'm not doing anything
Late at night, early morning
You tell me
Can I stop by your place
With this bare-faced look of mine
Like someone who knows what to say?
You pretend you buy it and I pay to see
I won't change your life, but it's nice to have
One-night loves are still loves
We fall in love only on Friday
Swear eternal love, but just for fun
And our 'forever' lasts the whole night
I like when your mouth lies like that
I'm not for you, you're not for me
And our 'forever' lasts the whole night
One, two, three
Verse 2
Praia do Futuro at night
I can hardly hear your name
I dive into you
Loud sound, bright lights
This pirate love of ours
We know what to do
You pretend you buy it and I pay to see
I won't change your life, but it's nice to have
One-night loves are still loves
We fall in love only on Friday
Swear eternal love, but just for fun
And our 'forever' lasts the whole night
Oh-oh-oh
I like when your mouth lies like that
I'm not for you, you're not for me
And our 'forever' lasts the whole night
Our love is just play
It lasts the whole night
Our love is just play
Oh-ohh It lasts the whole night
Our love is just play
It lasts the whole night

SONG MEANING

"Amor Pirata" invites us to dive into a whirlwind fling that burns bright and disappears with the sunrise. Jão paints the scene of two night-owls who know exactly what they are getting into: a playful, no-strings-attached escapade. They meet after midnight, cruise by the beach, shout over loud music, and promise each other a forever that is designed to last only a few hours. The singer openly admits he will not change the other person’s life—and that is precisely the appeal. In this twilight bubble, pretending feels as exciting as believing, and even lies taste sweet when whispered against the backdrop of neon lights and crashing waves.

Rather than mourning the brevity of the connection, the lyrics celebrate it. Jão reminds us that “amores de uma noite ainda são amores”—one-night loves are still loves. The song captures that electric moment when you let go of expectations, indulge in make-believe declarations, and live entirely in the now. It is a cheeky anthem for anyone who has ever surrendered to a spontaneous romance, knowing full well that the magic is real precisely because it is temporary.
