Avião De Papel Lyrics in English Carolina Deslandes , Rui Veloso

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Avião De Papel by Carolina Deslandes from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Love, the world breaks your dreams
Sometimes it all falls on your shoulders
I lift it up whole for you
I turn into the knight for you
Love, the world leaves you in the cold
Sometimes it drops you in the void
I paint it every color for you
I turn into Leonardo da Vinci for you
I made you a paper airplane
One from love letters
So we can fly on it when the world gets cruel
And there's no space big enough for pain
I made you a paper airplane
One of those paper fortune tellers
So we can fly away from here on honeymoon
To take you wherever you want
Verse 2
Love, the world steals your air
It even bans you from dancing
I dance every song for you
I turn into a dancer for you
Love, the world made you a woman
Sooner than it should've
I turn back time for you
I turn into Superman for you
I made you a paper airplane
One from love letters
So we can fly on it when the world gets cruel
And there's no space big enough for pain
I made you a paper airplane
One of those paper fortune tellers
So we can fly away from here on honeymoon
To take you wherever you want
I made you a paper airplane
One from love letters
So we can fly on it when the world gets cruel
And there's no space big enough for pain
I made you a paper airplane
One of those paper fortune tellers
So we can fly away from here on honeymoon
To take you where you want
To take you
To take you
Wherever you want
Wherever you want

SONG MEANING

“Avião de Papel” unfolds as a heartfelt promise of refuge and devotion. Carolina Deslandes and Rui Veloso paint a world that can be heavy, cold, and unfair, yet the narrator refuses to let a loved one face that darkness alone. Whenever life “breaks your dreams” or “steals your air,” the singer pledges to become anything required—knight, painter, dancer, even Superman—to shield and uplift. The paper airplane, folded from love letters, becomes a vivid symbol of escape: a tiny craft strong enough to carry two hearts above cruelty and pain.

What makes the song sparkle is its blend of childlike imagination with grown-up loyalty. A simple toy turns into a magic vehicle for moonlit honeymoons, second chances, and boundless possibilities. Through soaring vocals and tender guitar, the track reminds listeners that love can be both delicate and mighty, transforming everyday gestures into grand adventures whenever the world feels too heavy.
