Eu Posso Ser Como Você Lyrics in English Jão

Home / Lyrics Translation / Jão / Eu Posso Ser Como Você

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Eu Posso Ser Como Você by Jão from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

I'm tired of trying to convince myself

Finding explanations for what I did

In July, I became someone else

That's what you always say

I called it revenge, payback, anger

But I gotta admit

In the end, the truth is

I did it because I wanted to

I did it because I could

Because he wanted me

And I wanted to know

I did it because I felt

That, otherwise, I'd disappear

I don't need to tell you

I can be like you

Verse 2

I apologized when I shouldn't have

In fact, I wanted and could've done more

Now, looking back

I should've done more

You should know, betrayals are way more subtle

Look, my love, I just wanted to be happy

It was loyal from one port to another

I just wanted to live a little

Like you did, like you did

I did, I did, I did

I did it because I could

Because he wanted me

And I wanted to know, yeah

I did it because I felt

That, otherwise, I'd disappear

I don't need to tell you

I can be like you

SONG MEANING

Ever wondered what happens when heartbreak meets fierce self-discovery? In Eu Posso Ser Como Você, Brazilian pop star Jão turns the tables on a partner who once set the rules. The narrator starts out searching for excuses, but every line inches closer to a liberating confession: he acted out of pure desire, curiosity and the simple fact that he could. The repeated admission “eu fiz porque eu quis” (“I did it because I wanted to”) transforms guilt into empowerment, showing how owning our choices can feel thrilling — even when those choices include a little rebellion.

By the chorus, Jão flips the mirror on the person who hurt him: “Eu posso ser como você” (“I can be like you”). What looks like revenge is really a lesson in self-worth. The song suggests that betrayals are often subtle, and that everyone hungers for happiness in their own way. Packed with biting honesty, shimmering synth-pop and a touch of audacity, this track invites listeners to question double standards, claim their freedom and dance along while doing it.
