Coração Lyrics in English Elisa

Ever felt like your heart has a mind of its own? In “Coração,” Portuguese singer-songwriter Elisa turns that feeling into a playful conversation with her very own heartbeat. She scolds it for being “complicado,” begs it to let go of cold logic, and even jokes about hiding it in the sea just so it will finally relax. The song paints the heart as a clumsy friend who keeps breaking, yet Elisa’s only wish is to see it smile again. Each line is a gentle reminder that protecting ourselves from pain can also shut the door on love.

The chorus is an affectionate plea: “Ó coração, não digas não a quem te quer amar” — “Oh heart, don’t say no to the one who wants to love you.” By mixing humor with sincerity, Elisa encourages us to embrace vulnerability rather than fear it. The message is simple and uplifting: love might make us stumble, but refusing it hurts even more. Listening to “Coração” feels like giving your own heart a warm pep-talk and promising it a chance to dance again.
