João Lyrics in English Luisa Sobral

Home / Lyrics Translation / Luisa Sobral / João

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song João by Luisa Sobral from Portuguese to English.

I always leave school at the same time

And I see João leave too

I've already pretended to be distracted, smiled kinda cheekily

But João from C pretends he doesn't see

Everybody at school likes João

They ask him to date on a piece of paper with yes or no

I know it's hard with so much choice like that

What'll make João like me?

I'm the prettiest and I'm never picked

When they pick teams for football

If somebody gets sick I go in as a sub

I sit there soaking up the sun

Everybody at school likes João

They ask him to date on a piece of paper with yes or no

I know it's hard with so much choice like that

What'll make João like me?

Everybody at school likes João

They ask him to date on a piece of paper with yes or no

I know it's hard with so much choice like that

What'll make João like me?

Outro

João looking at me, João liking me

He's looking at me

As she observes the dynamics of her peers, who all seem to be vying for João's affection, she grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the pressure of competition. The repetitive chorus highlights her longing for João's gaze and affection, encapsulating the innocence and heartache of youthful romance, where the simplicity of a "yes" or "no" note can hold profound significance.
