Nosso Quadro Lyrics in English Ana Castela

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nosso Quadro by Ana Castela from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Everybody's got a love
That when you lie down and stare at the ceiling
Verse 1
The question comes: If it were today
Would we work out?
Verse 1
An episode that'll never be released
An incomplete album
Verse 1
A story that stopped halfway
Do you picture the rest?
Oh longing that takes, that takes
That takes over me
And it doesn't give me remorse, or anger
Or hate, it just makes me pity the end
Now our picture getting married in church
Won't be hung up
It only exists in my head
The two of us herding cattle
Our cowgirl daughter
Our life in the countryside
It only exists in my head
It's gonna be love even if it ain't lifelong
It's gonna be love even if it ain't lifelong
Verse 2
There are things we can't forget even if we want to
End of 2017
Me starting Dentistry and you in Vet school
Your denim shirt in my pickup truck
My friends ask what happened to you
My dad won't give up, he still wants to be grandpa
Time wasn't so nice to us two
It could've been, but it wasn't
Now our picture getting married in church
Won't be hung up
It only exists in my head
The two of us herding cattle
Our cowgirl daughter
Our life in the countryside
It only exists in my head
It's gonna be love even if it ain't lifelong
It's gonna be love even if it ain't lifelong

SONG MEANING

“Nosso Quadro” paints a vivid picture of that unforgettable almost-romance we all carry in the back of our minds: the one that ended before it truly began. With playful Pop melodies and country-flavored imagery, Ana Castela reminisces about a past love, wondering if time were rewound, would it finally work out? She scrolls through mental snapshots of a life they never got to live—wedding photos that exist only in her imagination, the two of them herding cattle on a rustic farm, raising a boiadeira daughter beneath vast Brazilian skies. Rather than anger or regret, the singer feels a tender ache and a touch of pity for the story left unfinished. By blending everyday memories—college majors, a denim shirt, curious friends—with larger-than-life dreams, the song captures how nostalgia can turn ordinary moments into priceless keepsakes, proving that some loves, even if not lifelong, remain forever framed in the heart.
