Quero Esquecer Você Lyrics in English Jorge Ben Jor
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quero Esquecer Você by Jorge Ben Jor from Portuguese to English.
Quero esquecer você
I want to forget you
Mas não consigo porque
But I can't because
Por você eu me enfeiticei
I was enchanted by you
Por você eu me namorei
I fell in love with you
Por você eu me enfeiticei
I was enchanted by you
Por você eu me namorei
I fell in love with you
Sei que não devo
I know I shouldn't
Querer você tanto assim
Want you so much
Pois esse desejo
For this desire
É proibido para mim
Is forbidden for me
Mas foi aquele beijo
But it was that kiss
Sem querer
Unintentionally
Que você me deu
That you gave me
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Mas foi aquele beijo
But it was that kiss
Sem querer
Unintentionally
Que você me deu
That you gave me
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Sei que não devo
I know I shouldn't
Querer você tanto assim
Want you so much
Pois esse desejo
For this desire
É proibido para mim
Is forbidden for me
Mas foi aquele beijo
But it was that kiss
Sem querer
Unintentionally
Que você me deu
That you gave me
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Mas foi aquele beijo
But it was that kiss
Sem querer
Unintentionally
Que você me deu
That you gave me
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you
Que o meu amor
That my love
Por você nasceu
Was born for you

Did you like this lyrics translation?
enfeiticei — I enchanted myself / I became enchanted
Enfeiticei comes from the verb enfeitiçar, which means 'to bewitch' or 'to enchant'. It's a captivating word that evokes a sense of magic and being under a spell.
In the song, Jorge Ben Jor sings, "Por você eu me enfeiticei" (Because of you, I became enchanted/bewitched). He uses this word to express how deeply and irresistibly he fell in love, as if he were under a love spell cast by the other person. It's a much more evocative way to say 'I fell in love' and adds a unique, almost mystical, dimension to the lyrics.
