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

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

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.
