A Máquina Lyrics in English Amor Electro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Máquina by Amor Electro from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Knowing what to do
With this happening
In a case like mine
To have my love
Plenty to spare
But I know I'll stay
For having what I don't have
I know I'll stay
It's to ask the heavens
Of me, of you and God
That I want to be happy
It's to ask the heavens
Because this love is mine
And soon I'll know
How sad living is
What fate, ah, what love
Verse 2
I won't cry anymore
Scream, call, return
The machine stopped
It stopped playing
Feel and not lie
Love and want to stay
How sad to see you like this
No longer knowing yourself
I tore your forgiveness
I wanted to be what I once was
I'm not running away anymore
The journey has begun
Because this love is mine
And soon I'll know
How sad living is
What fate, ah, what love
I won't cry anymore
Scream, call, return
The machine stopped
It stopped playing
It's to ask the heavens
Of me, of you and God
What I want is to be happy
It's to ask the heavens
Because this love is yours
And now I'm only gonna love
How good it hasn't ended
The machine woke up

SONG MEANING

Imagine your heart as a dazzling, whirring machine: it spins with excitement when love is in full swing, then sputters to a halt when things go wrong. In A Máquina, Portuguese group Amor Electro invite us into that mechanical metaphor, telling the story of someone who is bursting with affection "to give and to sell," yet suddenly faces an emotional breakdown. The singer pleads with the heavens—"to me, to you, and to God"—looking for the courage to keep believing in happiness even when life feels like a hopeless tangle of gears.

By the second half of the song, the once-silent machine flickers back to life. Tears dry, apologies are ripped apart, and instead of running away, the protagonist chooses to embark on a new journey of self-discovery and love. The chorus shifts from "the machine stopped" to "the machine woke up," capturing that exhilarating moment when hope reignites. In short, A Máquina is an energetic anthem about rebooting after heartbreak, trusting in love’s power to restart the engine, and daring to celebrate the sweet relief of realizing it isn’t over after all.
