Home / Lyrics Translation / Ana Bacalhau / O Erro Mais Bonito

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song O Erro Mais Bonito by Ana Bacalhau from Portuguese to English.

If I could go back to that day

And not move forward like I wanted

Maybe I'd live without this longing

Verse 1

If I had had the strength to stay

And left a void in your place

I might live without this heartache

Chorus 1

But what's life worth

If it's not felt

Even if, being so, it's necessary

For the pain to slowly kill us

I cry

But it's better to cry over what's done

If that wasn't my path

You were my most beautiful mistake

Chorus 2

You were my most beautiful mistake

Verse 3

If I hadn't chased after myself

In your silences

Nor lost myself

Inside your arms

Maybe I'd live without this punishment

Slow, this tear that falls to the ground

And it still reminds me of the warmth

Of your hands

That no longer hold me

Against your body

I cry

But it's better to cry over what's done

If that wasn't my path

You were my most beautiful mistake

If I hadn't lived all that

Nor had cried what I cried

I wouldn't know today what I know

Did you like these lyrics?

SONG MEANING

“O Erro Mais Bonito” unfolds like a heartfelt confession where two voices revisit a love that was as irresistible as it was ill-fated. Ana Bacalhau and Diogo Piçarra imagine rewinding time, asking What if I had stayed? or What if I had walked away sooner? Yet every hypothetical circles back to the same truth: even the sweetest memories are stitched with longing. The singers acknowledge that life only matters when it is fully felt, and sometimes that means letting pain seep in slowly, one wistful tear at a time.

In this bittersweet melody the pair call their past romance the most beautiful mistake—a dazzling detour that ultimately was not their destined path. They mourn the silence that replaced once-warm embraces, but they also celebrate the lessons earned. Had they not loved, lost, and cried, they would not carry today’s hard-won wisdom. The song invites listeners to cherish every chapter—right or wrong—because those chapters sculpt who we become.
