Rádio Lyrics in English Jão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rádio by Jão from Portuguese to English.
I have a dream, I have a dream
Cha-tu, cha-tu-du-tu, ba-ba-ba-ram
I have a dream, I want the world, my love
I want it all, and to get it, I'll need to leave you
Ta-du-da, dum-dum-dum-dum
Verse 1
Lying on the grass bed of the barn
On that hot day, I was your first
I taught you to try me
My classic ambition doesn't lie
I knew, sooner or later, it'd pull us apart
I didn't teach you to leave me
When I lie down, there's no peace
In my dreams, a voice
Calls me to go away
And I go after it
When you hear me on the radio
Will you be able to notice
That everything I sing or say
Is still just about you?
Fame, cash, new vices
Everything I dream of, I get
But I'm not able to forget you
Forget you
Verse 2
I'm no longer the singer on your wall
I know it was hard for you to move on
I met you at the wrong time
I'm a dream, time will forgive me
The things I did, I can't go back
But I'm who I am because of you
When I lie down, there's no peace
In my dreams, a voice
Calls me to go away
And I go after it
When you hear me on the radio
Will you be able to notice
That everything I sing or say
Is still just about you?
Fame, cash, new vices
Everything I dream of, I get
But I'm not able to forget you
Forget you
But I'm not able to forget you

SONG MEANING

Imagine a young dreamer stretched out on a barn’s grass mattress, whispering promises of having it all to the person he just introduced to love. In “Rádio,” Jão tells the story of someone whose hunger for the spotlight, money, and new thrills is louder than the quiet life he once shared. He leaves, certain that his clássica ambição will break them apart, yet never expecting how deeply their memory will echo through every backstage hallway and hotel room.

Fast-forward to success: the singer’s voice now fills stadiums and car stereos, but every lyric in those chart-topping hits is secretly a postcard to the one he left behind. Surrounded by fame, cash, and fresh vices, he discovers that the rush of achievement cannot drown out late-night guilt or the hope that, when the old lover hears him on the radio, they will know the songs are still only about them. “Rádio” is a bittersweet confession that dreams can come true, but they often send the heart on a frequency it can never quite tune out.
