Desamor Lyrics in English Mariza , Gson

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Desamor by Mariza from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
You used to be more
Than a naked body
Verse 1
You used to be more
Than a temptation
Verse 1
You used to be more
Than a secret in the ear
Verse 1
You used to be more
Than a whim in vain
Verse 1
And the blood falls slowly
From wounds made by love
In estranged passions
That make us cry
I don't know anymore if it's worth it
I don't know anymore if it matters
I don't know anymore if it's worth it
I never wanted to fall from someone's love
Verse 2
Black gypsy
She's in love with the black gypsy
I'm only loyal to all I learned in the nativity
And that's the only truth around my core
You asked to see, I saw
Then you were my myopia
Today your name in my fate
Is vitamin for my melody
The surrender is dirty, not erudite
I'm your lover till my breath pleads
I opened the wounds for you to see
My whole life in the strings of that guitar I lost
The end of this cliff says if I'll fly or fall
But if I have to go find what's beyond infinity
I won't wait for you
I can't wait for you
I don't know anymore if it's worth it
I don't know anymore if it matters
I don't know anymore if it's worth it
I never wanted to fall from someone's love
I don't know anymore if it's worth it
I don't know anymore if it matters
I don't know anymore if it's worth it
I never wanted to fall from someone's love

SONG MEANING

Mariza, Portugal’s queen of modern fado, joins forces with rapper Gson to paint a vivid portrait of a love that has slipped from passion into uncertainty. Over sensual guitar lines and hip-hop cadences, the singers look back on a relationship that used to be so much more: more than a bare body, more than a whispered secret, more than a fleeting whim. Now the wounds of love bleed slowly, and both voices wonder aloud if fighting for the same flame is still worth the pain.

The chorus becomes a haunting mantra — "Eu já não sei se vale a pena" (I no longer know if it’s worth it). Mariza’s fado‐tinged melancholy mingles with Gson’s raw confessions about loyalty, faith, and the risk of leaping into the unknown. Together they capture that bittersweet moment when the heart hesitates on the edge of desamor — the chilling space where affection begins to fade but the memories still burn bright. Listen for a dialogue between doubt and desire, resignation and hope, all wrapped in a genre-blending soundscape that keeps the story as captivating as it is heartbreaking.
