Locadora Lyrics in English Jão

Home / Lyrics Translation / Jão / Locadora

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

Verse 1

Come down fast, don't even change clothes

We're gonna stop by the video store

Listening to the radio in my new Corsa

I've gotta take it on the other side

Your low-rise pants match my style

Pick a movie to live with me

I'll still play on your little radio

Just give me a little more time

Nothing your parents tell you

Is worth more than what I can do

Baby, my mirror knows

How much I work to win you

Pulling an all-nighter down at Praça Sete

Tasting the flavor of your gum

After so long

Baby, I still remember

Lying to your dad that I deserve you

Your hand in my pants is priceless

After so long

Baby, I still remember

Verse 2

Kissing to the sound of the VCR

DiCaprio impressed, watching us

Time was long and different

Baby, catch me if you can

Every now and then, in my head

I walk along the shelves

I pick one of our scenes

I still remember it well

Nothing your parents tell you

Is worth more than what I can do

Every afternoon is just the beginning

Of what we're still gonna live

Pulling an all-nighter down at Praça Sete

Tasting the flavor of your gum

After so long

Baby, I still remember

Lying to your dad that I deserve you

Your hand in my pants is priceless

After so long

Baby, I still remember

SONG MEANING

Hop into Jão’s shiny Corsa and rewind to the early 2000s, when Friday nights meant racing to the video rental store, blasting the radio, and picking the perfect VHS to watch together. Locadora paints a vivid scene of youthful rebellion: low-slung jeans, secret drives, and playful nods to Red Hot Chili Peppers lyrics. The singer invites his crush to skip the outfit change, grab a movie, and live an unforgettable adventure framed by the glow of a flickering TV.

At its heart, the song is a nostalgic love letter to first romance. Jão relives late-night hangouts in Praça Sete, the taste of shared chewing gum, and daring kisses while DiCaprio watches from the screen. Parents’ warnings fade against the certainty of young desire, and every small memory becomes cinematic gold. By repeating “Baby, eu ainda me lembro,” Jão celebrates how ordinary moments—a hand slipping into a pocket, a fib told to a protective dad—can stay vivid forever, turning a simple trip to the video store into a timeless coming-of-age story.
