Espera Lyrics in English Fernando Daniel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Espera by Fernando Daniel from Portuguese to English.
I already know who I am
And what I did
Was for my own good
I'm what I wasn't
And I'll be our tomorrow
Where are you going?
Wait for me
I'll be better for you
Whenever you leave
I feel the end
And I don't wanna stay here
Verse 1
You, your own boss
You leave me like this
Not knowing what to do
You're what I want most
If you leave, I'll wait
Life without you has no taste
Where are you going?
Wait for me
I'll be better for you
Whenever you leave
I feel the end
And I don't wanna stay here
I can't be without you
I just can't be without you
Verse 2
Where are you going?
Wait for me
I'll be better for you
Whenever you leave
I feel the end
And I don't wanna stay here
Outro
Where are you going?
Wait for me

SONG MEANING

“Espera” is a heartfelt pop ballad where Portuguese singer Fernando Daniel opens his diary and lets us read the rawest pages. Over gentle piano chords, he looks at himself in the mirror and realizes, “I already know who I am”. That new self-knowledge sparks a promise: he will grow, evolve and become a better man if only the person he loves will wait for him. The song’s title means “Wait” and every chorus turns that single word into an urgent plea.

We hear a tug-of-war between fear and hope. When his partner leaves the room, he feels the world ending, yet he never stops believing they can share “tomorrow as two”. It is a declaration of devotion wrapped in vulnerability: he admits he cannot taste life without her, but instead of clinging, he offers change and improvement. “Espera” is perfect for learners who want to explore Portuguese emotion vocabulary, but also for anyone who has ever whispered, “Please, stay while I work on becoming the best version of me.”
