Não Enche Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Não Enche by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Me larga, não enche
Leave me alone, don't bother
Você não entende nada, eu não vou te fazer entender
You don't understand anything, I won't make you understand
Me encara de frente
Face me head-on
É que você nunca quis ver, não vai querer, não quer ver
It's that you never wanted to see, you won't want to, you don't want to see
Meu lado, meu jeito
My side, my way
O que eu herdei de minha gente, nunca posso perder
What I inherited from my people, I can never lose
Me larga, não enche
Leave me alone, don't bother
Me deixa viver (4x)
Let me live
Cuidado, oxente!
Watch out, hey!
Está no meu querer poder fazer você desabar
It's in my will to make you collapse
Do salto, Nem tente
From your high horse, don't even try
Manter as coisas como estão porque não dá, não vai dar
To keep things as they are because it won't work, it won't happen
Quadrada, demente
Rigid, demented
A melodia do meu samba põe você no lugar
The melody of my samba puts you in your place
Me larga, não enche
Leave me alone, don't bother
Me deixa cantar (4x)
Let me sing
Eu vou clarificar a minha voz
I'm going to clarify my voice
Gritando: nada mais de nós!
Shouting: no more of us!
Mando meu bando anunciar
I'll send my group to announce
Vou me livrar de você
I'm going to get rid of you
Harpia, aranha
Harpy, spider
Sabedoria de rapina e de enredar, de enredar
Wisdom of predation and of entangling, of entangling
Perua, piranha
Flashy woman, b*tch
Minha energia é que mantém você suspensa no ar
My energy is what keeps you suspended in the air
Pra rua!, se manda
Get out!, get lost
Sai do meu sangue, sanguessuga, que só sabe sugar
Get out of my blood, leech, who only knows how to suck
Pirata, malandra
Pirate, schemer
Me deixa gozar (4x)
Let me enjoy
Vagaba, vampira
Slut, vampire
O velho esquema desmorona desta vez pra valer
The old scheme collapses this time for real
Tarada, mesquinha
Obsessed, petty
Pensa que é a dona, eu lhe pergunto: quem lhe deu tanto axé?
Thinks she's the owner, I ask you: who gave you so much axé?
À toa, vadia
Worthless, b*tch
Começa uma outra história aqui na luz deste dia D
Another story begins here in the light of this D-day
Na boa, na minha
Seriously, on my own terms
Eu vou viver dez
I'm going to live ten
Eu vou viver cem
I'm going to live a hundred
Eu vou viver mil
I'm going to live a thousand
Eu vou viver sem você
I'm going to live without you
Vagaba, vampira
Slut, vampire
O velho esquema desmorona desta vez pra valer
The old scheme collapses this time for real
Tarada, mesquinha
Obsessed, petty
Pensa que é a dona, eu lhe pergunto: quem lhe deu tanto axé?
Thinks she's the owner, I ask you: who gave you so much axé?
À toa, vadia
Worthless, b*tch
Começa uma outra história aqui na luz deste dia D
Another story begins here in the light of this D-day
Na boa, na minha
Seriously, on my own terms
Eu vou viver dez
I'm going to live ten
Eu vou viver cem
I'm going to live a hundred
Eu vou viver mil
I'm going to live a thousand
Eu vou viver sem você, eu vou viver sem você
I'm going to live without you, I'm going to live without you
Na luz desse dia D
In the light of this D-day
Eu vou viver sem você
I'm going to live without you

oxente — oh my goodness / wow
Oxente is a very interesting interjection, primarily used in the Northeast region of Brazil. It's an exclamation that can express surprise, astonishment, indignation, or even a warning, similar to "oh my goodness" or "wow" in English.
In the context of the song, Caetano Veloso uses it as a warning: "Cuidado, oxente!" (Be careful, oh my goodness!). It adds a strong regional flavor and a sense of urgency to his message, making it a memorable and culturally rich word.
