Amuleto Lyrics in English Tiê

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amuleto by Tiê from Portuguese to English.
Don't let me regret it
For ever having loved you, João
Don't let me slip away like this
Hold me in your arms, João
Stick by my side, lock a padlock
Put an alarm on me
Don't let me cry in the bedroom
Thinking about you, João
Don't let time erase
I might forget you, João
Call me all the time
Keep watch at my door
Take care of my heart
Solve my problems
Take me to the movies, then up to the moon
Bring me a star
Do me the favor
Do something crazy
Carry me in your pocket
Use me as a pillow
Hang me on your neck like an amulet
You've got me in your hands, but don't squeeze, João
Or I'll slip through your fingers
Carry me in your pocket
Use me as a pillow
Hang me on your neck like an amulet
You've got me in your hands, but don't squeeze, João
Or I'll slip through your fingers
Carry me in your pocket
Use me as a pillow
Hang me on your neck like an amulet
You've got me in your hands, but don't squeeze, João
Or I'll slip through your fingers
Carry me in your pocket
Use me as a pillow
Hang me on your neck like an amulet
You've got me in your hands, but don't squeeze, João
Or I'll slip through your fingers

SONG MEANING

In “Amuleto,” Brazilian singer Tiê turns a simple love plea into a playful spell. She calls out to João, begging him to keep her close like a lucky charm: lock her in his arms, watch her door, phone her nonstop, whisk her to the movies, and even hang her around his neck. Every verse piles on new, almost child-like requests – from borrowing a star to using her as a pillow – that paint love as both adventure and protection.

Beneath the sweet imagery there is a tender warning. Tiê admits she could slip away “between his fingers” if he squeezes too hard or lets time fade their bond. The song captures that delicate balance between craving total devotion and needing gentle space, wrapped in a breezy Brazilian pop melody that feels as comforting as the amulet she longs to be.
