Gameboy Lyrics in English Jão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gameboy by Jão from Portuguese to English.
Intro
I can be your Game Boy
Your toy, your hero
You'll love me anyway
I already know your whole life
Verse 1
I've always been the sun, but this time I'm gonna leave you
Do whatever you want, you can transform me
Obsessed, I read you
Verse 1
I'm gorgeous and I don't get it
How can anyone not love me
Verse 2
I'm gorgeous and I don't get it
How can anyone not love me
Tell me your type
I know how to change
Love, if I'm not enough, whatever you like, I'll do
You'll love me
Tell me your type
I know how to change
Love, if I'm not enough, whatever you like, I'll do
You'll love me
I'm your Game Boy
I've always been the sun, but this time I'm gonna leave you
Do whatever you want, you can transform me
Obsessed, I read you
I'm gorgeous and I don't get it
How can anyone not love me
I'm gorgeous and I don't get it
How can anyone not love me
Tell me your type
I know how to change
Love, if I'm not enough, whatever you like, I'll do
You'll love me
Tell me your type
I know how to change
Love, if I'm not enough, whatever you like, I'll do
You'll love me
I'm your Game Boy
Tell me your type
I know how to change
Love, if I'm not enough, whatever you like, I'll do
You'll love me
Tell me your type
I know how to change
Love, if I'm not enough, whatever you like, I'll do
You'll love me
I'm your Game Boy

SONG MEANING

Gameboy by Brazilian pop sensation Jão turns a nostalgic handheld console into a metaphor for modern love. The singer offers himself as a Game Boy, a toy and a hero all in one, ready to be played, customized, and adored. With playful confidence he repeats 'I am beautiful and I don’t understand how anyone could not love me,' yet beneath the swagger is someone willing to bend, switch skins, and hit reset just to win another round of affection.

The chorus’s addictive loop — asking what type the listener prefers and promising to transform — captures both the thrill and the danger of shape-shifting for love. It’s a bright synth-pop track that hides vulnerability inside its pixelated armor, reminding us that even the shiniest avatars crave genuine connection. By the time Jão declares 'Eu sou seu Game Boy,' we’re left questioning whether this unconditional adaptability is empowering or a game we can never truly win.
