O Que Você Faz Pra Ser Feliz Lyrics in English Clarice Falcão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song O Que Você Faz Pra Ser Feliz by Clarice Falcão from Portuguese to English.
What makes you happy?
You happy, what does it?
Do you do what makes you happy?
What makes you happy is what you do
To be happy
To be happy
What do you do to be happy?
And if happiness flies in a balloon
So high you can't see it anymore
But only it can lift you off the ground
To be happy, what do you do?
Happiness is inside
But it won't show up on an x-ray
You trigger your own feelings
What do you do to be happy?
To be happy
To be happy
What do you do to be happy?
Far, near, inside, whatever
Whoever wants happiness chases it
And sometimes it's right under your nose
What do you do to be happy?
To be happy
To be happy
What do you do to be happy?

SONG MEANING

“O Que Você Faz Pra Ser Feliz” is Clarice Falcão’s playful invitation to look in the mirror and ask, “What do I actually do to be happy?” Throughout the song she flips and reshapes the same question, turning it into a catchy mantra that sticks in your mind. By repeating the words, she shows how personal and different the answer can be for each of us, setting a lighthearted tone that feels almost like a friendly game of tag with the idea of happiness itself.

Using colorful images—a balloon soaring out of sight, an X-ray that cannot capture feelings—Clarice reminds us that real joy is both internal and self-made. She urges listeners to take action: chase happiness when it flies away, notice it when it is “right under your nose,” and remember that only you can “lift yourself off the ground.” In the end, the song leaves you humming along and, more importantly, reflecting on the simple yet powerful question: What will you do today to be happy?
