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

Verse 1

Freshly dumped is like this

Profile updated, psalm caption

Break up and start going out

It's just alcohol scenes, status: over it

Location's a packed bar

Hints that there's someone beside you

Posts coming home at six

To prove to the ex

That the one who lost was the ex

But your car stereo only plays indirects

Stop filming the dashboard and flip the screen

Only longing comes out of that speaker

Behind the stories you're soaking the steering wheel

On the car stereo only indirects play

Stop filming the dashboard and flip the screen

Only longing comes out of that speaker

Behind the stories you're soaking the steering wheel

Crying a lot

Wanna show you've forgotten

Then forget first

Location's a packed bar

Hints that there's someone beside you

Posts coming home at six

To prove to the ex

That the one who lost was the ex

But your car stereo only plays indirects

Stop filming the dashboard and flip the screen

Only longing comes out of that speaker

Behind the stories you're soaking the steering wheel

Your car stereo only plays indirects

Stop filming the dashboard and flip the screen

Only longing comes out of that speaker

Behind the stories you're soaking the steering wheel

Crying a lot

Wanna show you've forgotten

Then forget first

Wanna show you've forgotten

Then forget first

SONG MEANING

“Molhando o Volante” paints the picture of someone who has just ended a relationship and is eager to prove they are totally over it. They update social-media profiles with uplifting Bible verses, tag themselves in crowded bars, and post sunrise selfies at 6 a.m. to shout, “I’m thriving!” to the world. Yet the chorus reveals the truth: inside the car, every song is a not-so-subtle message to the ex, the phone camera never flips around because their eyes are swollen with tears, and the steering wheel is literally getting soaked by all that hidden crying.

This contrast between flashy online confidence and private heartbreak is the heart of the song. Jorge & Mateus remind us that when the only person we are trying to convince is ourselves, the façade eventually cracks. The upbeat sertanejo groove might make you want to dance, but the lyrics whisper a gentle warning: if you really want to forget an ex, spend less time curating stories and more time healing for real.
