Um Minuto Para O Fim Do Mundo Lyrics in English CPM 22

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Um Minuto Para O Fim Do Mundo by CPM 22 from Portuguese to English.
It's dangerous to wake people from their dreams
Verse 1
I feel alone
But who has never felt like this
Verse 1
Looking for a path to follow a direction
Answers!
Verse 1
One minute till the end of the world
Your whole life in sixty seconds
One turn of the clock hand to live
Time's racing against me, it's always been like this and always will be
Living just to beat how much I miss you
With eyes closed I try to hide the pain now
Please understand, I need to leave because
When I'm with you I feel my world end
I lose the ground beneath my feet, I'm short on air to breathe
And just thinking of losing you for a second
I know that's the end of the world!
Verse 2
I turn the clock back, trying to delay the end
Trying to hide the fear of losing you when I feel like this
With eyes closed I try to fool my heart
To run somewhere else, in another direction because
When I'm with you I feel my world end
I lose the ground beneath my feet, I'm short on air to breathe
And just thinking of losing you for a second
I know that's the end of the world!
When I'm with you I feel my world end
I lose the ground beneath my feet, I'm short on air to breathe
And just thinking of losing you for a second
I know that's the end of the world!
I know that's the end of the world!
I know this is the end
I know this is the end
I know that's the end of the world!

SONG MEANING

Imagine hearing a ticking clock so loud that every second feels like the last. In Um Minuto Para o Fim do Mundo, CPM 22 turns that sensation into music. The narrator wakes up from dreams, feeling lost and alone like anyone who has ever searched for purpose. Suddenly there is one minute left on the cosmic timer, and he is forced to cram his whole life into sixty heart-pounding seconds. Time is the enemy, racing forward while he desperately rewinds the hands of the clock.

Yet the real apocalypse is not meteors or earthquakes – it is the fear of losing the person he loves. Being with this someone is so intense that the ground vanishes beneath his feet, he cannot breathe, and the mere thought of separation feels like the literal end of the world. The song is a raw mix of urgency, love, and panic: a reminder that when emotions run high, a single minute can hold an eternity of hope, doubt, and desire.
