Home / Lyrics Translation / Bárbara Bandeira / Onde Vais

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Onde Vais by Bárbara Bandeira from Portuguese to English.

Where are you going

'Cause if I stay here you won't leave

It'll always end up hurting more

And I can't even change that anymore

I don't know how long it'll take

To forget the loneliness

That you left at my door

When you took my heart away

You hide what you want to say

Just 'cause you're afraid to see me suffer

But it won't work

Nothing binds us

It just keeps us

And everything changes

We changed too

Maybe love is like that

But everything I wanted for myself

There's none left

Where are you going

'Cause if I stay here you won't leave

It'll always end up hurting more

And I can't even change that anymore

Tell me if you're going or not

I don't even know if I call or let it slide

I hope time's the one to heal

Since I can't even change that anymore

Wake me up when it's over

The time that passed me by

Silenced my voice

It was with you I learned

What it's like to love someone alone

Dreams I wasted

The songs I didn't sing 'cause I stayed

Nothing binds us

It just keeps us

And everything changes

We changed too

Maybe love is like that

But everything I wanted for myself

There's none left

Where are you going

'Cause if I stay here you won't leave

It'll always end up hurting more

And I can't even change that anymore

Tell me if you're going or not

I don't even know if I call or let it slide

I hope time's the one to heal

Since I can't even change that anymore

Wake me up when it's over

But if this song was made for you

Maybe that'll change what I haven't lived yet

So tell me if you're going or not

I don't even know if I call or let it slide

And I hope time's the one to heal

Since I can't even change that anymore

Wake me up when it's over

SONG MEANING

"Onde Vais" pairs Bárbara Bandeira’s pop sparkle with Carminho’s fado-tinged soul to tell a story of love stuck at the doorway. The singer looks at her partner and asks the simplest yet hardest question: Where are you going? If she stays, he will never truly leave, and every minute of uncertainty only deepens the pain. He took her heart, left loneliness on her doorstep, and now she is trapped between clinging to memories and begging for a clean break.

Beneath that pleading chorus lies a broader reflection on change. The couple admits that nothing really unites them anymore; they have both transformed, and maybe love itself is meant to evolve or fade. Still, by turning her heartbreak into a song, she plants a fragile hope that music can reshape what life could not. The track becomes a bittersweet anthem about indecision, letting go, and trusting time to heal the wounds we can no longer mend ourselves.
