Music and Portuguese Lyrics by Caetano Veloso

English Lyrics by Holly Holmes

1

Just leave me, piss off,

You don’t get it and I’m not gonna teach it to you.

Look into, my eyes,

You won’t like what you see, don’t look unless you care to

See me side, try my way,

What I’ve got inside you just can’t take, I’ll never lose it.

Just leave me, piss off,

I’ll live my life how I live my life, oh,

I’ll live my life now that you’re not in it.

 

2

You want me? Just watch me!

I’ll knock you down so fast you’ll never know what happened til you

Get over yourself and

Don’t try to keep things as they are, you won’t win, I won’t let you,

You’re selfish, you’re foolish,

Don’t come hither, don’t come slither here, I’ll smother you, so

Just leave me, piss off,

I’ll live my life how I live my life, oh,

I’ll live my life now that you’re not in it and

 

I will clarify my voice.

To simplify, there is no more us!

I’ll celebrate, I should,

I’m rid of you, life is good!

 

3

I’m happy, I’m healthy,

It took some therapy, but now I see it’s you who’s crazy,

I don’t want you, I don’t need you,

I’m the one who kept you floating while you held me under,

I’m strong now, so long now,

I’ve got the confidence to say just what I please to you so

Stop talking and start walking

I’ll live my life how I live my life, oh,

I’ll live my life now that you’re not in it.

 

4

Just leave me, get lost!

You don’t like it?  Good!  Who asked you anyway?

You cheater, you liar,

Don’t try to use the same old sweet talk on my anymore ‘cause,

It’s over, it’s no joke now,

I’m starting fresh, I’m starting new, the sun is shining on me,

It’s D-day, piss off,

I’ll live for ten, oh, I’ll live a hundred,

I’ll live a thousand, I’ll live my life without you.

I’ll live my life without you.

I’ll start my life fresh and new.

I’ll love my life without you.
