Daqui Pra Sempre Lyrics in English by Manu Bahtidão, Simone
Calando comes from the verb calar, which means 'to silence' or 'to make quiet'. It's a powerful word that suggests making a definitive statement.
In the song, it's part of the triumphant phrase "Calando a boca do mundo" (literally "Silencing the world's mouth"). This idiom perfectly captures the feeling of proving all the doubters wrong about their love, showing everyone that their relationship has succeeded against all odds.
This song is a huge celebration of a love that nobody believed in. Manu Bahtidão and Simone sing about a relationship that everyone said was "frágil demais" [too fragile] and wouldn't make it. But instead of listening to people "Que não quer nosso bem" [who don't want what's good for us], the singer decides to fight for their partner.
The whole mood is about victory. The chorus is a powerful message to all the doubters: "E olha onde a gente chegou / Tudo que a gente conquistou" [And look where we've arrived / Everything we've conquered]. It's a super confident anthem about being you and your partner against the world, proving everyone wrong and "Calando a boca do mundo" [shutting the world's mouth].
