Só É Fogo Se Queimar Lyrics in English Amor Electro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Só É Fogo Se Queimar by Amor Electro from Portuguese to English.
Another promise
Another day doubting
Another hurried patch
More
A way to look for you
Longing won't let up
It begs for a breath of air
To rest in sorrow
If I speak maybe you'll deny it
Call me to dance
Feel the body fly
It's only pain if there's a will
To hold on
It's only fire if it burns
It's only happiness
While it lasts
It's only fire if it burns
Just one more moment
I regret so much time, so much more time
More than a feeling
More
Than the secret, it's still early
The truth lives leagues away
Makes you stagger
It's got bars to grieve behind
If I speak maybe you'll deny it
Call me to dance
Feel the body fly
It's only pain if there's a will
To hold on
It's only fire if it burns
It's only happiness
While it lasts
It's only fire if it burns
It's only pain if there's a will
To hold on
It's only fire if it burns
It's only happiness
While it lasts
It's only fire if it burns
It's only pain if there's a will
To hold on
It's only fire if it burns

SONG MEANING

Amor Electro invites us into a whirlwind of saudade and passion where each day feels like another hastily sewn patch on a restless heart. The narrator drifts between promises, doubts, and the irresistible pull to find the one who makes time stop. Longing presses in like a lack of air, yet the mere idea of being asked to dance can send the body soaring, weightless and free.

The chorus lays out the song’s playful philosophy: “Só é dor se for vontade de agarrar / Só é fogo se queimar.” Pain exists only when we cling, fire only when it burns, happiness only while it lasts. Rather than fearing love’s volatility, the lyrics encourage us to revel in the moment — to feel the spark, dance through the fleeting heat, and accept that true intensity lives hand in hand with impermanence.
