Navega Lyrics in English Cesar MC

Home / Lyrics Translation / Cesar MC / Navega

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Navega by Cesar MC from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

I see some steps over the water

And a voice telling me: Sail

A furious sea tells me the opposite

But I know that voice never errs

I grabbed my stuff to vanish from the world

But I saw we take nothing from here

Death’s always staring into my eyes

And sometimes it seems to flirt

This world's chaos affects me

This world's chaos is cold, deep

It strokes me, drowns me, and affects me

Who dares to talk about love

In this world locked in darkness?

The worst prisons are the ones that make you

Think the door's open

(The voice is saying: Sail

The voice is saying: Sail

Sail, sail, sail

The voice is saying: Sail

Sail, sail, sail

Sail, sail, sail)

Verse 2

I asked God: why did the world stop?

He asked me: why was the world running?

That question paralyzed me

Because somehow it answered me

As usual the cure was a grimace

We fell in love with anesthesia

And for not knowing how to deal with our own mess

We assumed the cure no longer existed

Between bills and petals, pearls and pills

And such frivolous fables, the ego here is just a film

You can't keep it up, even if you lie

Life is tough and keeps hitting till it cracks

We demand proof that proves God

Until we see our life hanging by a thread

No equation has answered yet

What math fills this void?

Pay attention to the invisible things

Notice how tangible they are

Pay attention to insensitive men

Notice how fragile they are

The worst ignorant is the one who swears he knows

The dirtiest lie is a half truth

Dive in, the bottom doesn't always drown

Welcome to the end of the world

This is the soundtrack

(And welcome to the end of the world

This is the soundtrack

This is the soundtrack)

I miss that age

When life was just a slide

Our selfishness is filthy, useless

Petty, killer, and tacky

My mom used to say: 'Careful, boy

Don't run, evil doesn't wait'

Who dares to play tag

In a world where death tags you?

The voice is saying: Sail

Pepper in the poor man's eye doesn't sting

Doesn't burn, doesn't hurt, and doesn't blind

Left and right is just an intersection

Where everyone complains about the signal

But nobody moves, we're just children

Playing to see who messes up more

Nobody's right in this sh*t

Tell me who's right in this sh*t?

Life's a breath and the chase for the top

Leaves us so close to the fall

The road of ego is made of glass

Careful, one day it breaks

SONG MEANING

Navega drops you in the middle of a churning ocean where Cesar MC hears a mysterious voice inviting him to sail. Waves of doubt, death, and social chaos crash around him, but that simple call keeps him balanced on the water like an urban-prophet surfer. The song paints vivid, almost cinematic scenes: packing bags to escape the world, debating with God about why time feels frozen, and realizing that the harshest prisons are the mental ones we build ourselves. Every line feels like a life-raft made of poetry, urging listeners to keep moving even when the storm looks unbeatable.

Beneath the nautical imagery lies a sharp critique of ego, greed, and empty political shouting. Cesar warns that money, pills, and half-truths will never fill the aching void inside us, and he playfully exposes how fragile the “all-knowing” really are. Still, Navega is not a hopeless anthem. It pushes you to dive deeper, trust what cannot be seen, and remember that even at “the end of the world,” music can be the soundtrack that guides you home. The message is clear: grab your courage, silence the noise, and sail on.
