Coringa Lyrics in English Jão

Home / Lyrics Translation / Jão / Coringa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Coringa by Jão from Portuguese to English.

Our love's a wild card

I want your swing to win you over

If I see you leaving

I grab you outside, can you stay?

I wanna see you again

Without messing with our game

Our love's a wild card

I want your swing by the sea

Verse 1

Good morning, I know it's almost your time to go

You never promised you wouldn't leave

But it's been over a week

That you sleep in my bed

Verse 1

Good morning, so what do we do now?

I'll pour you some coffee, don't take long

Your skin in the sun, hair on me

So good the day starts like this

My life's made of adventures

I wanna run on your curves

Come with me in this outlaw love

Our love's a wild card

I want your swing to win you over

If you see me leaving

Grab me outside, I can stay

I wanna see you again

Without messing with our game

Our love's a wild card

I want your swing by the sea

Come with me

Then come with me

Come with me

Oh, love, I've got so much to say

Verse 2

You know how I sail

Part of me is afraid

And the other part wants to stay

Verse 2

I'm up for whatever comes

And if it's meant to be

Whatever God wants

Crime only pays if you're with me

We're each other's and so much of the world

Call me by name and come see me

I don't wanna love, I want you

Our love's a wild card

I want your swing to win you over

If you see me leaving

Grab me outside, I can stay

I wanna see you again

Without messing with our game

Our love's a wild card

I want your swing by the sea

Come with me

Then come with me

Come with me

Our love's a wild card

I want your swing to win you over

If I see you leaving

I grab you outside, can you stay?

I wanna see you again

Without messing with our game

Our love's a wild card

I want your swing by the sea

Good morning

SONG MEANING

Coringa is Jão’s ode to a love that refuses to sit still. In Portuguese, coringa is the joker card—the wildcard that can become anything the game needs. The singer compares his relationship to that card: unpredictable, daring, and always ready to change the rules. Over sunny guitar riffs and a breezy beat, he wakes up next to his lover, serves coffee, and plots new escapades. One moment they are savoring a lazy morning, the next they are racing toward the shoreline, holding on to each other so no one slips away.

The lyrics mix tenderness with a streak of mischief. Jão wants his partner’s ginga—that Brazilian swing of body and spirit—to keep conquering him again and again. Their connection feels like a “love crime” that only pays off when they are together. Fear exists, but adventure is louder, and if destiny is a game, they are ready to play it by their own rules. Coringa celebrates a passion that is playful yet intense, as boundless as the sea waiting at the edge of their story.
