CÉU Lyrics in English Boombeat , Cynthia Luz, Emicida

Home / Lyrics Translation / Boombeat / CÉU

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song CÉU by Boombeat from Portuguese to English.

Lucky sky that always sees the sea every morning

Lucky sky that, when night falls, sees the constellation

Lucky sky that can enjoy everything the world gives

But sad sky that sees everything end

Sad sky

Verse 1

How can that be, huh?

A thousand reasons to quit can't be stronger

Than the reason to keep going

Verse 1

And staying on my feet isn't about keeping my feet on the ground

But about walking a tightrope

Having to balance myself

Verse 1

Keeping faith lit isn't about having hope

Who waits never reaches

Who only waits is led by the wind

But of course the sun will be back tomorrow

To remind me that it shines

Verse 1

Even covered by gray clouds

I've always been in a pandemic

Where my home's safer, but I still have to run in the hustle

To work on my soul

In a process where I grow through connection

Verse 1

Because without the other I wouldn't exist

Getting milk from stone is like looking to the side

And seeing the smile on the face of someone who hides depression

Only whoever had to be strong is strong

Even so they applaud my fight

That's even why they give me awards

If it were only for me it wouldn't make sense

I would've already left or never even come

That's why I push so hard at it

If it's gonna have an end let it be trying

And not because I quit

My luck is that the sky listens when I speak softly

My peace is when I dive deep

And silence stops me from being weak

I was only strong in everyone's eyes

What the eyes don't see

What comes from the sky only you can see

Verse 1

What makes you better

I wanted to stop but I couldn't

I also thought of the worst

Verse 1

I was bigger than myself

Manipulating my hate

Verse 1

And when peace exists let it be near us

The sky makes me have faith in me

Now I only hear my voice

Lucky sky that always sees the sea every morning

Lucky sky that, when night falls, sees the constellation

Lucky sky that can enjoy everything the world gives

But sad sky that sees everything end

Sad sky

Verse 2

Two whizzed past, stuck to my heels

Still sitting

Behind the door they caught up

A big load of punches, kicks, chair hits, blood and mud

Age: 13 years

Crime: shook his hips like a f*g

F*g is an octave in the air

He's condemned

Sofias, Talitas, Lauras

Case closed

Minor beaten by his dad so he wouldn't be

It etched in all of us

Who prays for the sweet boys?

Both fearing how it would sound

The other mocking, the guys clowning me

Yo, what's up, what's that

Each tone has its block and drops another octave

Bass

Who is at the edge of the edge disappears

While the world posts or consumes

All a man needs is love

Where nothing is more dangerous than loving a man

Also for Lafon

But it's for me, thanks

If what they say is real, the priest won't go to heaven

He watered a lily with faith

Barbaro, Lázaro brought us Madame

Madame Satan gave us a Lázaro

I remember you, Murillo, Tchelo

Orbiting atmosphere

Sometimes happy 'cause hip hop is that

Sometimes locked in a self smaller than it used to be

And there wasn't a balloon in the audition like that

I went to do what y'all did for me

Gratitude

Sometimes the fight is hard, sad, confusing

Rest in peace, Luquinhas, son of grandpa and Jeruza

I need you strong, Linna

Liniker flying, sensitive, beautiful

Monna Brutal, Bixarte, Majur

There's still you, Boombeat

Be welcome, fly

Lucky sky that always sees the sea every morning

Lucky sky that, when night falls, sees the constellation

Lucky sky that can enjoy everything the world gives

But sad sky that sees everything end

Sad sky

Rap is still the finger in the wound

Fun, but also a tool

For our emancipation

We're together)

SONG MEANING

Imagine being the sky: every dawn you greet the ocean in shimmering blues, every dusk you light up with constellations, yet you also watch wars, pandemics, and broken hearts from above. “CÉU” turns this point of view into a powerful blend of boom-bap beats, soulful hooks, and razor-sharp rhymes. Italian producer Boombeat teams up with Brazilian wordsmiths Cynthia Luz and Emicida to ask one big question: how do we keep moving when the world feels ready to collapse?

The lyrics juggle hope and heartbreak. Cynthia celebrates the courage of walking a “corda bamba” tightrope, trusting action instead of passive hope, while Emicida slams homophobia, poverty, and the silence that surrounds mental health. Names of friends, victims, and fellow artists float by like shooting stars, reminding us that community is our lifeline. In the end, the track lands on a clear message: faith is loudest when it comes from within, love is the most radical defense we have, and hip hop is still “o dedo na ferida” – the finger pressing on society’s sore spots so healing can begin.
