Dói Lyrics in English Jorge & Mateus

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dói by Jorge & Mateus from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

It hurts to have to control the crazy urge to call you

It hurts to have to delete the photo to avoid remembering

And I still have to hear questions like

So? You guys together or not?

But the worst of the worst isn't even that

It's having to get used to

Sleeping with someone, waking up with nobody

Going out at night again

Telling my life story, soaking in booze

And coming home wasted

Being single isn't easy

Even more when you've already dated, dated

A year and a bit

Sleeping with someone, waking up with nobody

Going out at night again

Telling my life story, soaking in booze

And coming home wasted

Being single isn't easy

Even more when you've already dated, dated

A year and a bit

Being single isn't easy

Even more when you've already dated, dated

A year and a bit

Verse 2

It hurts to have to control the crazy urge to call you

It hurts to have to delete the photo to avoid remembering

And I still have to hear questions like

So? You guys together or not?

But the worst of the worst isn't even that

It's having to get used to

Sleeping with someone, waking up with nobody

Going out at night again

Telling my life story, soaking in booze

And coming home wasted

Being single isn't easy

Even more when you've already dated, dated

A year and a bit

Sleeping with someone, waking up with nobody

Going out at night again

Telling my life story, soaking in booze

And coming home wasted

Being single isn't easy

Even more when you've already dated, dated

A year and a bit

Being single isn't easy

Even more when you've already dated, dated

A year and a bit

SONG MEANING

“Dói” is a modern sertanejo heart-ache anthem that puts a spotlight on the not-so-glamorous side of single life. Jorge & Mateus sing about the sting that follows a breakup: resisting the wild urge to call an ex, deleting photos just to stop the flood of memories, and fielding the nosy “So… are you two still together?” questions from friends.

Behind the catchy melody lies a raw confession: jumping back into the nightlife, sharing stories over too many drinks, and waking up alone never quite fills the void left by a long relationship. The chorus repeats the hard truth—“It’s not easy being single, especially after you’ve dated for over a year”—turning the song into a relatable soundtrack for anyone learning to navigate freedom that doesn’t feel so free.
