Nada Por Mim Lyrics in English by João Gomes

João Gomes brings us a song about a relationship where one person feels taken for granted. The lyrics, "Você me tem fácil demais / Mas não parece capaz / De cuidar do que possui" [You have me too easily / But you don't seem capable / Of taking care of what you possess], really hit home, don't they? It's like the other person is always telling them what to do – "Me diz até o que vestir / Com quem andar, aonde ir" [Tells me even what to wear / Who to hang out with, where to go] – but never asks them to come back. It's a classic push and pull where one person is giving their all, even saying "Sou todo seu" [I'm all yours], but the other isn't putting in the effort.
The singer is clearly frustrated, warning, "E não faça assim / E não faça nada por mim / Não vá pensando que eu sou seu" [And don't do that / And don't do anything for me / Don't go thinking that I'm yours]. It's a strong message about setting boundaries and demanding respect, even when you're deeply committed. You can almost feel the tension in the lines as they try to reclaim some independence in a relationship that feels very one-sided. It's a powerful anthem for anyone who's felt like they're giving too much without getting enough in return!
