Memória Lyrics in English Ana Bacalhau

Memória invites us into an intimate late-night conversation with Ana Bacalhau’s own reflection. Sleepless and restless, she feels time “stealing” her life while she wanders through countless open doors, desperate to find one true exit. The outside world sees a body whose wounds have healed, yet inside her head the singer wrestles with a soul that feels shattered. As she cries on her own shoulder in the mirror, she confronts a haunting question: Who was I? How was I?

The chorus – “Somos só memória à espera de não ser esquecida” (“We are only memory waiting not to be forgotten”) – turns that private doubt into a universal fear. Bacalhau’s lyrics capture the fragile line between remembering and losing ourselves, between appearing strong and fearing failure. By the end, the song becomes a bittersweet anthem about identity, vulnerability and the hope that the stories we write about ourselves will survive the passing of time.
