Esse Cara Sou Eu Lyrics in English Roberto Carlos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Esse Cara Sou Eu by Roberto Carlos from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
The guy who thinks about you
All the time
Verse 1
Who counts the seconds
When you're late
Verse 1
Who's the whole time
Wanting to see you
Verse 1
Because he no longer knows
How to be without you
Verse 1
And in the middle of the night calls you
To say he loves you
That guy is me
The guy who grabs you by the arm
Bumps into whoever
Tries to block your path
Verse 1
Stays by your side
For whatever comes
Verse 1
The hero awaited
By every woman
Verse 1
For you he faces danger
Your best friend
That guy is me
The guy who loves you
Your way
Verse 1
Who after love
You lie on his chest
Verse 1
He strokes your hair
He talks about love
Verse 1
He says other things
He makes you hot
Verse 1
In the morning you wake up happy
In a smile that says
That guy is me
That guy is me
I'm the right guy for you
Who makes you happy and adores you
Who wipes your tears
When you cry
That guy is me
That guy is me
Verse 2
The guy who always
Waits for you smiling
Verse 2
Who opens the car door
When you're coming
Verse 2
Kisses you on the mouth
Hugs you happy
Verse 2
In love looks at you and says
He missed you and complains
He loves you
That guy is me
Outro
That guy is me
That guy is me
That guy is me

SONG MEANING

In “Esse Cara Sou Eu” Roberto Carlos paints a vivid self-portrait of the ultimate romantic hero, a man who breathes, thinks, and lives for the woman he loves. Every lyric works like a love-letter checklist: he counts the seconds until she appears, braves any obstacle to walk by her side, and whispers affectionate words that melt away the night. The song’s narrator claims each tender gesture with infectious confidence, repeating the line “Esse cara sou eu” (“That guy is me”) as if to stamp his signature on every act of devotion.

More than a simple serenade, the track is a feel-good fantasy about finding someone who not only thrills you with grand displays of passion but also comforts you in the quiet moments—drying your tears, opening the car door, running fingers through your hair at dawn. By the final chorus, listeners are invited to believe that this attentive, steadfast lover could step right out of the speakers and into real life. It’s a warm reminder that genuine affection is both exciting and reassuring, making “Esse Cara Sou Eu” an anthem for anyone dreaming of a love that’s equal parts superhero and best friend.
