Tenta Acreditar Lyrics in English ANAVITÓRIA
Esbarrei comes from the verb esbarrar, which means to stumble upon, bump into, or run into something or someone. It suggests an accidental or unexpected encounter.
In the song, the lyric "Esbarrei em mil promessas" (I stumbled upon a thousand promises) uses this word to convey the idea of encountering numerous unfulfilled promises, highlighting a sense of disillusionment or unexpected disappointment. It's a more evocative word than simply saying "I found" or "I saw" promises.
Tenta Acreditar is a bittersweet postcard from Brazilian duo ANAVITÓRIA to anyone standing at the fragile border between “us” and “me”. Waking up to find the other side of the bed empty, the narrator asks the partner to believe that the separation is not loss but a chance to rediscover themselves. She invites honesty before time runs out, admitting that both hid behind promises they could not keep. Every new dawn starts with the hopeful mantra “hoje vai ser bom”, yet the “impossible” whispers that their ending has already arrived.
Instead of dwelling on regrets, the song spins playful possibilities: maybe the stars decided their fate, maybe their only crime is loneliness, maybe they will restart in another place. By imagining their love story on the radio or the evening news, the duo shows how memories can be reshaped into something tender. Tenta Acreditar ultimately celebrates acceptance, self-growth, and the courage to rewrite the story—even if the next chapter begins apart rather than together.
