AmarElo Lyrics in English Emicida , Majur, Pabllo Vittar

Home / Lyrics Translation / Emicida / AmarElo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song AmarElo by Emicida from Portuguese to English.

Right now I can

Consider myself a lucky guy

Because although I'm very young

I feel safe and sound and strong

And I've been thinking

God is Brazilian and walks by my side

And so I can't suffer over last year anymore

I've bled too much

I've cried like crazy

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

I've bled too much

I've cried like crazy

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

I dream higher than drones

Fuel of my kind? Hunger

To tear it up like a cyclone

So tomorrow won't be just a yesterday

With a new name

The vulture circles, eager for the fall

I end sorrow, bro

I'm more than this sh*t

Body, mind, soul, one, kinda Ayurveda

Water style, I run among the rocks

In the plot, everything, the murky dramas, I'm a playwright

I call you to step away from the mud

While I set the world on fire

No melodrama, I'm after cash, that's hosanna in progress

Capulanas, katanas, seeking nirvana is the resource

It's a dog-eat-dog world for us, losing isn't an option, right?

From where the wind bends, straight talk sprouts

I don't let it slide, there's no way to let it slide

The goal is to knock the ground out

From those who laughed at us when we were roofless

I've bled too much

I've cried like crazy

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

I've bled too much

I've cried like crazy

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

Prize sticker, glow in the dark

Since the hood, loose

In a beanie, top of the hill and all the homies

With pieces in the lining and the worst impulses

Only God and I know what it's like to have nothing, to be kicked out

I lay lines on the world, but once wanted to lay them on my wrist

Without the dough, our life's not worth a dog's, sad

'Hoje Cedo' wasn't a hit, it was a cry for help

Bro, rancor is like a tumor, it poisons the root

Where the crowd only wants to be happy

With an airy presence

Where the latest trend is depression that looks like vacation

Grandma says hating the devil is easy, easy

Hard is to live in hell

Because the same scoundrel empire that doesn't take you seriously

Interferes to knock you down, strike back!

I've bled too much

I've cried like crazy

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

I've bled too much

I've cried like crazy

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

Allow me to speak, not my scars

They're supporting actors, no, better, extras

That shouldn't even be here

Allow me to speak, not my scars

So much pain steals our voice, know what's left of us?

Targets strolling around out there

Allow me to speak, not my scars

If this is about living, reducing me to survival

Is stealing the little good I've lived

Finally, allow me to speak, not my scars

Thinking those woes define me is the worst crime

It's handing the trophy to our executioner and making us disappear

I've bled too much

I've cried like crazy

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

I've bled too much

I've cried like crazy

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

I've bled too much

I've cried like crazy

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

I've bled too much

I've cried like crazy

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

Hey, street kid, hey, street girl

Lift that head

Dry those tears, right?

Take a deep breath and get back in the ring

You're getting out of that prison

You're going after that diploma

With the fury of the Sun's beauty, got it?

Do this for us

Do this one for us

See you on the podium

Last year I died

But this year I won't die

SONG MEANING

“AmarElo” means “yellow” in Portuguese – the color of sunshine, positivity, and caution. Emicida mixes hip hop with a classic Belchior sample and invites the powerful voices of Majur and Pabllo Vittar to create a hymn for everyone who has ever felt pushed to the edge. The song opens with gratitude to a Brazilian God who walks at the rapper’s side, then leaps into vivid images of favela life, hunger that fuels ambition, and streets where even hope seems risky. Over a beat that feels like a warm sunrise, the three artists transform personal pain into something bright and shareable.

The chorus – “Last year I died, but this year I will not” – turns into a mantra of survival. Emicida admits to bleeding, crying “like a dog,” and flirting with self-destruction, yet he refuses to be defined by his scars. Instead, he calls listeners to wipe their tears, return to the ring, grab diplomas, and shine with “the fury of the Sun’s beauty.” “AmarElo” is both a confession and a collective pep talk: it honors the weight of depression, racism, and poverty, but insists that the story is not over. By the end, the color yellow is no longer just light – it is resistance, self-love, and the promise of standing on the podium together.
