Jão – O Triste É Que Eu Te Amo Lyrics (English Translation)

(Intro)
Across the street you move, and my gaze locks, my pupils wide.
The shape of you, a thought: how beautiful draped around my side.
We’re neither of us from this place. You climb, I become your slide.
São Paulo—an entire world inside an apple’s poisoned sweet.

(Pre-Chorus)
If I devour you—or don’t—the hunger still remains.
Everyone I know, both far and near, already knows your name.

(Chorus)
I die so full, yet hold no want inside my hands.
And if I cannot change you, love, that’s how your nature stands.
If we’d just agree to make no more elaborate plans…
Oh God, the saddest truth: I love you.

(Verse)
I don’t need forever, just always in the now.
Just say the word, and I will to your fortune bow.
I don’t want money, nor love sincere and true.
I only want you saying: “You’re the stronger one, not you.”
I am stronger—let me be your man.
I want to be yours, only yours, let me be your man.

(Pre-Chorus)
If I devour you—or don’t—the hunger still remains.
Everyone I know, both far and near, already knows your name.

(Chorus)
I die so full, yet hold no want inside my hands.
And if I cannot change you, love, that’s how your nature stands.
If we’d just agree to make no more elaborate plans…
Oh God, the saddest truth: I love you.

(Bridge)
The city breathes, a world compressed in one deceitful bite.
This craving lingers in the absence and the light.

(Outro)
The saddest truth… is I love you.
I love you.
The saddest truth… is I love you.
