Garoto Errado Lyrics in English Manu Gavassi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Garoto Errado by Manu Gavassi from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Can someone explain to me what I do
To not feel like this
I've started to notice
The effect you have on me
My heart starts racing
Am I going crazy or do you want to provoke me?
You look at me and I start to laugh
When the best I can do is run away
So tell me what I do
To try to forget you
I don't even know what I like
So much, so much about you
Your smile or your little way
Of trying to annoy me
If there's a way, I'll try to avoid it
I swear I'll do everything not to fall in love
Are the signs I noticed really real?
Maybe I'm fooling myself
And you don't even care
Still, I keep imagining
You and me seem to match
I'm the lyrics and you're the melody
With you, I'd sing every day
So tell me what I do
To try to forget you
I don't even know what I like
So much, so much about you
Your smile or your little way
Of trying to annoy me
If there's a way, I'll try to avoid it
I swear I'll do everything not to fall in love
I've noticed I have to be careful
Because you're the right type of wrong guy
Just you showing up
And I lose my speech and confusion happens
So tell me what I do
To try to forget you
And tell me why I like
So much, so much about you
Was it your smile or your little way
Of trying to annoy me
If there's a way, I'll try to avoid it
I swear I'll do everything
I swear I'll do everything
I swear I'll do everything
Not to fall in love
So I don't fall in love

SONG MEANING

Garoto Errado is Manu Gavassi’s playful confession of battling a crush on the exactly wrong boy. From the first verse she’s already spiraling: her heart races, her thoughts spin, and every teasing glance from him flips her world upside-down. The lyrics read like a diary entry where reason shouts “run away” while emotion whispers “stay,” capturing that delicious tug-of-war between wanting to protect your heart and craving the thrill of possibility. Manu paints the crush in vivid snapshots—his smile, the way he annoys her on purpose, the instant loss of words when he shows up—until the listener is right there with her, laughing, blushing, and overthinking every little signal.

Beneath the bubbly pop melody lies a universal truth: sometimes the people who set off the loudest alarm bells are the ones we daydream about most. Manu sums it up with the irresistible line “você é o tipo certo de garoto errado” (“you’re the perfect kind of wrong boy”), reminding us that love rarely follows logic. The song’s charm is in its honesty and humor; it turns fumbling uncertainty into a sing-along anthem, proving that even when our heads say “don’t fall,” our hearts often choose their own beat.
