Agora Penso Por Mim Lyrics in English by Soraia Ramos
Engolir literally means "to swallow." While it's a common verb, its use in this song is particularly interesting because it's used metaphorically.
The singer repeatedly states, "Eu não vou engolir esses teus bla blas" (I won't swallow your blah blahs). Here, "engolir" means to accept or believe something that isn't true, especially lies or empty words. It's a strong way to express her refusal to be deceived any longer.
Soraia Ramos's "Agora Penso Por Mim" is a powerful anthem about finding your strength and walking away from a relationship full of lies. The singer has reached her breaking point, declaring, "para min chega" ("for me, it's enough"). She's tired of her partner's empty words, or "bla blas," and their claims of love that aren't backed up by actions. She realizes she was "cega" ("blind") but now sees the truth and refuses to be a "segundo plano" ("second option") any longer.
This isn't just a feeling; she has proof. The singer reveals she saw everything herself: "Eu li mensagens / Eu vi chamadas" ("I read messages / I saw calls"). She even names the other women involved, making it clear this wasn't a one-time mistake. The core message is a firm decision to choose self-respect over a toxic partnership. As she repeats throughout the song, "Agora penso por mim" ("Now I think for myself"), she makes it clear it's not worth continuing and that she is ready to give up on the relationship to find something better.
