Nem Eu Lyrics in English Salvador Sobral
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nem Eu by Salvador Sobral from Portuguese to English.
Não fazes favor nenhum a gostar de alguém
You're not doing anyone a favor by liking someone
Nem eu, nem eu, nem eu
Nor me, nor me, nor me
Quem inventou o amor não fui eu
I didn't invent love
Não fui eu, não fui eu
I didn't, I didn't
Não fui eu, nem ninguém
I didn't, nor did anyone
O amor acontece na vida
Love happens in life
Estavas desprevenida e por acaso eu também
You were unprepared and by chance, so was I
E como o acaso é importante, querida
And since chance is important, dear
De nossas vidas a vida fez um acaso também
Life made a coincidence of our lives too
Não fazes favor nenhum a gostar de alguém
You're not doing anyone a favor by liking someone
Nem eu, nem eu, nem eu
Nor me, nor me, nor me
Quem inventou o amor não fui eu
I didn't invent love
Não fui eu, não fui eu
I didn't, I didn't
Não fui eu, nem ninguém
I didn't, nor did anyone
Did you like this lyrics translation?
desprevenida — unprepared / caught off guard
Desprevenida means 'unprepared' or 'caught off guard'. It's a less common word than its opposite, 'preparada' (prepared), making it more interesting and memorable.
In the song, Salvador Sobral sings, "Estavas desprevenida e por acaso eu também" (You were unprepared and by chance, so was I). This word beautifully captures the unexpected and spontaneous nature of falling in love, suggesting that neither person was looking for it, but it happened anyway.
