Casa De Madeira Lyrics in English Calema

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Casa De Madeira by Calema from Portuguese to English.
You invent so much good stuff
I, naive, just fall for it
Without a clue
You promise me a wooden house up on the moon
Facing the sun
It's so easy
For you to fool me
When you know that I
Only have eyes for you
Your silence
Is the judge
The more it condemns me
The more I want to see you
Again
No matter how much life gives up on me
My punishment is to live chained to you
Even if I die trying to change you
I'll do it anyway
Because you
You're just you
Because you
I'll do it anyway
Because you're you
It's so easy
For you to fool me
When you know I only have eyes for you
Your silence
Is the judge, and the more it condemns me the more I want to see you
Again
No matter how much life gives up on me
My punishment is to live chained to you
Even if I die trying to change you
I'll do it anyway
Because you
You're just you
Because you
You're just you
You're just you
Even in loneliness
I try to understand the reason for the illusion
If only one is suffering
Between the sword and the sky
Between the sky and what's mine
I know I'm gonna lose myself
Because you
You're just you
Because you

SONG MEANING

Casa De Madeira paints the picture of someone hopelessly in love with a master of sweet talk. The admirer hears grand, impossible promises—like a wooden house on the moon facing the sun—and, even knowing they are fantasies, still falls for them every single time. The silence of the loved one becomes a harsh judge, yet the more this silence “condemns,” the stronger the desire to see them again grows. In other words, logic keeps waving a red flag, but the heart keeps speeding past it.

At its core, the song explores a bittersweet trap: loving someone so intensely that you accept pain, illusion, and even personal ruin just to stay close. The singer admits that life itself might give up on them, but they will still fight to change the person they love—no matter the cost. It is a poetic reminder of how easily we can trade reality for romantic daydreams and how difficult it can be to free ourselves when love feels like both our prison and our paradise.
