Volta Lyrics in English Diogo Piçarra

Volta is a heartfelt plea from Portuguese singer-songwriter Diogo Piçarra to someone who has slipped away. Throughout the verses he begs for “just one more second,” hoping that a single embrace could spin them back around the world together. The imagery is romantic and vivid: coloring a gray sky, freezing time with a smile, carving memories “on the chest.” Every line drips with longing and urgency, painting love as a place where you can dive deep and travel far in an instant.

Yet beneath the tender promises is a crushing twist. The repeated call to “volta” (come back) turns tragic when we learn the person has left “for another world,” hinting at loss that feels permanent. Suddenly the chorus is not only about rekindling a relationship, it is about wrestling with grief and the impossibility of reunion. Piçarra’s voice captures that bittersweet mix of devotion and despair, reminding listeners that even with all its imperfections, love is worth holding onto—if only for one more second.
