Adeus Tristeza Lyrics in English by Amor Electro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Adeus Tristeza by Amor Electro from Portuguese to English.

Na minha vida tive palmas e fracassos

In my life I had applause and failures

Fui amargura feita notas e compassos

I was bitterness turned into notes and bars

Aconteceu-me estar no palco atrás do pano

I ended up onstage behind the curtain

Tive a promessa de um contrato por um ano

I had the promise of a one-year contract

A entrevista que era boa não saiu

The great interview never came out

E o meu futuro foi aquilo que se viu

And my future was just what you saw

Na minha vida tive beijos e empurrões

In my life I had kisses and shoves

Esqueci a fome num banquete de ilusões

I forgot hunger at a banquet of illusions

Não entendi a maior parte dos amores

I didn't understand most loves

Só percebi que alguns deixaram muitas dores

I only realized that some left a lot of pain

Fiz as cantigas que afinal ninguém ouviu

I made the songs that in the end nobody heard

E o meu futuro foi aquilo que se viu

And my future was just what you saw

Adeus tristeza, até depois

Goodbye sadness, see you later

Chamo-te triste por sentir que entre os dois

I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us

Não há mais nada pra fazer ou conversar

There's nothing else to do or talk about

Chegou a hora de acabar

It's time to end it

Adeus tristeza, até depois

Goodbye sadness, see you later

Chamo-te triste por sentir que entre os dois

I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us

Não há mais nada pra fazer ou conversar

There's nothing else to do or talk about

Chegou a hora de acabar

It's time to end it

Na minha vida fiz viagens ida e volta

In my life I made round-trip journeys

Cantei de tudo por ser um cantor à solta

I sang everything 'cause I'm a singer on the loose

Devagarinho num couplé pra começar

Slowly in a couplé to start

Com muita força no refrão que é popular

With lots of force in the chorus that's popular

Mas outra vez a triste sorte não sorriu

But again sad luck didn't smile

E o meu futuro foi aquilo que se viu

And my future was just what you saw

Adeus tristeza, até depois

Goodbye sadness, see you later

Chamo-te triste por sentir que entre os dois

I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us

Não há mais nada pra fazer ou conversar

There's nothing else to do or talk about

Chegou a hora de acabar

It's time to end it

Adeus tristeza, até depois

Goodbye sadness, see you later

Chamo-te triste por sentir que entre os dois

I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us

Não há mais nada pra fazer ou conversar

There's nothing else to do or talk about

Chegou a hora de acabar

It's time to end it

Na minha vida fui sempre um outro qualquer

In my life I was always just another guy

Era tão fácil, bastava apenas escolher

It was so easy, I only had to choose

Escolher-me a mim, pensei que isso era vaidade

To choose myself, I thought that was vanity

Mas já passou, não sou melhor mas sou verdade

But that's over, I'm not better but I'm real

Não ando cá para sofrer mas para viver

I'm not here to suffer but to live

E o meu futuro há de ser o que eu quiser

And my future will be whatever I want

Adeus tristeza, até depois

Goodbye sadness, see you later

Chamo-te triste por sentir que entre os dois

I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us

Não há mais nada pra fazer ou conversar

There's nothing else to do or talk about

Chegou a hora de acabar

It's time to end it

Adeus tristeza, até depois

Goodbye sadness, see you later

Chamo-te triste por sentir que entre os dois

I call you sad 'cause I feel that between us

Não há mais nada pra fazer ou conversar

There's nothing else to do or talk about

Chegou a hora de acabar

It's time to end it

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Adeus Tristeza is like flipping through the pages of a musician’s diary, full of standing ovations, missed opportunities, hungry dreams, and heart-stings. Verse after verse, the narrator lists the highs (contracts, applause, kisses) and the lows (broken promises, empty interviews, ignored songs). It all builds a vivid picture of an artist who has tasted both glitter and grit on the road to success.

The chorus is a bright turning point: “Goodbye, sadness, see you later.” Instead of wallowing, the singer finally decides to pull the plug on pity and choose self-belief. By the last verse, the message is clear — life is not about suffering, it is about living. The song wraps up as an empowering anthem that urges us to wave farewell to gloom, own our stories, and set the future on our own terms.
