Essa Eu Fiz Pro Nosso Amor Lyrics in English Jão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Essa Eu Fiz Pro Nosso Amor by Jão from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I wrote this one for the two of us, drunk
Dancing at a party full of rich, boring people
Verse 1
I wrote this one for every Cazuza lyric
That I memorized because you said you liked
Verse 1
I wrote this one for your mom just because she's so beautiful
And always knows what to say
Verse 1
I wrote this one for your tumbles on the sidewalk
Your loud laugh
Verse 2
I wrote this one for you
I'd already given up on myself
My life's always like this
I've got a reputation for suffering
So don't tell anybody
But this one's for our love
This one's for our love
This one's for our love
I wrote this one for Alameda Três
For Avenida São João, every spot we kissed
I wrote this one for my denim jacket
For my Taz shirt, every piece of clothing you took off
I wrote this one for every packed show where I forgot the lyrics
Because I thought of you
I wrote this one for every gorgeous star
That, under your tongue, you made me see
I'd already given up on myself
My life's always like this
I've got a reputation for suffering
So don't tell anybody
But this one's for our love
This one's for our love
This one's for our love
I wrote this one for each step we took
Every beautiful day of our story
This one is about our love
But it's also about the day you left
About my faded Taz shirt
About your mom so silent whenever I called
About me drinking without you by my side
About me crying whenever 'Exagerado' plays
I'd already given up on myself
My life's always like this
I've got a reputation for suffering
So don't tell anybody
But this one's for our love
This one's for our love
This one's for our love

SONG MEANING

“Essa Eu Fiz Pro Nosso Amor” is Jão’s love time-capsule, packed with snapshots of a relationship that felt epic in its everyday moments. The singer strings together a collage of memories: two tipsy lovers twirling among uptight guests, favorite Cazuza lyrics sung off-key, the clumsy falls that end in loud laughter, and even that faded Taz sweatshirt hitting the floor. By repeating essa eu fiz (I made this one) before each image, he turns the song into a scrapbook where every line is a Polaroid of their shared world.

Yet beneath the playful nostalgia lies a quiet ache. Jão calls himself a “sofredor” (a born sufferer) and hints that the romance has already slipped away. The same verses that celebrate kisses on Avenida São João and starry-eyed concerts also foreshadow lonely drinks and tears when “Exagerado” plays without her. The result is a bittersweet anthem that says: I wrote this song for our love, so no one forgets how bright it burned, even after the party lights fade.
