Paz Lyrics in English Carolina Deslandes

Carolina Deslandes turns an everyday question—“Did you ever find the peace you were looking for?”—into a tender conversation with an ex-lover. In Paz she watches time roll by “like a bus that is always late,” and in that delay she wrestles with mixed emotions: she hopes the other person has moved on to something better, yet secretly prays they have not. The repeated “Olha lá” (Hey, look) feels like a gentle tap on the shoulder, both nostalgic and inquisitive, as she wonders whether their shared memories became a cherished museum or just a quick remedy for loneliness.

By the chorus, the singer draws a clear line: if the other person is leaving, they should do it completely. She insists she is “já não estou cá”—no longer there emotionally—and what remains of their relationship survives only on “o pouco que me dás,” the crumbs of attention she still receives. The song is a delicate mix of longing and self-protection, showing how love can linger even while we fight to reclaim our own peace.
