5 Regras Lyrics in English Jorge & Mateus

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 5 Regras by Jorge & Mateus from Portuguese to English.
Your kiss is crazy
But you can't be too careful
I don't wanna be made a fool again
Hurt by other loves
Heart calloused by fear
It learned the five rules of detachment
Don't answer that call right away
Disappear on Friday night, no explanation
If jealousy hits, don't admit it
And the candles on the dinner table
Forget it, you can't light them
If an I love you slips out by accident
Trigger plan B
I won't see you anymore
Easy to say, hard to do
I planned it, everything went wrong
I'm in love with you
Easy to say, hard to do
Remember those five rules?
I got amnesia, I just forgot them
Your kiss is crazy
But you can't be too careful
I don't wanna be made a fool again
Hurt by other loves
Heart calloused by fear
It learned the five rules of detachment
Don't answer that call right away
Disappear on Friday night, no explanation
If jealousy hits, don't admit it
And the candles on the dinner table
Forget it, you can't light them
If an I love you slips out by accident
Trigger plan B
I won't see you anymore
Easy to say, hard to do
I planned it, everything went wrong
I'm in love with you
Easy to say, hard to do
Remember those five rules?
I won't see you anymore
Easy to say, hard to do
I planned it, everything went wrong
I'm in love with you
Easy to say, hard to do
Remember those five rules?
I got amnesia, I just forgot them
Your kiss is crazy
But you can't be too careful
I don't wanna be made a fool again

SONG MEANING

5 Regras drops us right into the mind of someone who swears they have mastered the art of emotional self-defense. After being burned by past relationships, the narrator invents five iron-clad rules for staying cool: don’t pick up the phone on the first ring, disappear on a Friday night, never admit jealousy, keep the candles off the dinner table, and if an “I love you” slips out, run for cover with a plan B. The idea is simple: stay detached, stay safe.

Of course, love has other plans. The moment a new kiss arrives—“seu beijo é coisa de louco” (your kiss is crazy good)—all those carefully crafted strategies crumble. The song turns into a playful confession that theory is easy and practice is hard. By the chorus, the singer admits that every precaution has vanished from memory, because he is already head over heels. In short, “5 Regras” is a cheeky reminder that the heart often overrides even the most logical rulebook, proving that falling in love is delightfully uncontrollable.
