Odeio Lyrics in English Manu Gavassi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Odeio by Manu Gavassi from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I hate your smile and the way you talk
I hate it when you look at me, I laugh without thinking
I hate it when you call me to chat
I hate it when you come over and I hate even more having to wait for you
I don't know what to do
There's nobody here to stop me from writing you
Another song to make me understand
That I hate you so much because I like you
I never believed it was really for real
I never admitted I cared about you
Now whatever, I don't wanna hide anymore
I'm telling you to your face that I hate you
For liking you this much
Verse 2
I hate giving advice you won't even use
I hate it when you talk about her and I pretend I don't care
I hate seeing you with someone who's got nothing to do with you
I hate that she's so dull and you don't even notice
I don't know what to do
There's nobody here to stop me from writing you
Another song to make me understand
That I hate you so much because I like you
I never believed it was really for real
I never admitted I cared about you
Now whatever, I don't wanna hide anymore
I'm telling you to your face that I hate you
For liking you this much
You'll wake up one day and realize
That even being a bit weird
In my own way I tried to convince you
That today I believe it's really for real
I confess, I admit I care about you
Now whatever, I don't wanna hide anymore
I'm telling you to your face that I hate you
For liking you this much

SONG MEANING

“Odeio” is Manu Gavassi’s playful confession that sometimes hate is just love wearing a stubborn disguise. The singer reels off a sarcastic checklist of things she “hates” about someone—from their smile to the way they make her laugh—only to reveal that every complaint is really a proof of affection. It feels like reading a teenage diary where pride, jealousy, and butterflies are all crammed onto the same page, turning frustration into a tongue-in-cheek love anthem.

Behind the catchy melody, Manu explores that messy moment when you finally admit your crush has you hooked. She shows how jealousy stings, advice goes ignored, and waiting for a text can feel endless, yet the truth keeps slipping out: I hate you because I like you so much. By the end, the mask drops, and the “hate” transforms into an honest, slightly awkward declaration of love, celebrating the courage to own your feelings even when they drive you crazy.
