Maltratar, Não É Direito Lyrics in English Maria Rita

Home / Lyrics translation / Maria Rita / Maltratar, Não É Direito

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maltratar, Não É Direito by Maria Rita from Portuguese to English.

Moço, maltratar não é direito

Mister, mistreating isn't right

Essa mágoa no meu peito

This sorrow in my chest

Você sabe de onde vem

You know where it comes from

Isso é desamor

This is lovelessness

E não tem jeito

And there's no way

Um amor quando desfeito

A love when undone

Sempre faz alguém chorar

Always makes someone cry

Eu chorei saudade

I cried from longing

'Tá doendo

It's hurting

E lá vem você querendo

And here you come wanting

Outra vez me maltratar

To mistreat me again

Um amor só é bom

A love is only good

Quando é prá dois

When it's for two

Eterno é antes e depois

Eternal is before and after

Agora não vou mais me enganar

Now I won't fool myself anymore

Não quero mais sofrer, não dá

I don't want to suffer anymore, I can't

Se o teu desejo era me ver

If your desire was to see me

Se deu vontade de saber

If you wanted to know

Se 'to feliz

If I'm happy

Até posso dizer que sim

I can even say yes

O teu reinado acabou

Your reign is over

Chegou ao fim

It came to an end

Eu não nasci pra você

I wasn't born for you

Nem você prá mim

Nor you for me

Lalalaiá Lalalaiá

Did you like this lyrics translation?

desamor — lack of love / lovelessness

Desamor is a compound word formed from "des-" (a prefix indicating negation or reversal) and "amor" (love). It translates to "lack of love" or "lovelessness", but it carries a deeper emotional weight, often implying a state of indifference, disillusionment, or the absence of affection where it once existed.

In Maria Rita's song, the singer uses desamor to describe the pain and hurt caused by a relationship that has gone sour. She sings, "Isso é desamor / E não tem jeito" (This is lovelessness / And there's no way), highlighting the irreversible damage and emotional void left by a love that has faded or been mistreated. It's a poignant word that encapsulates the heartbreak and emotional neglect experienced in the song.
