Voltas Lyrics in English Fernando Daniel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Voltas by Fernando Daniel from Portuguese to English.
Did I give
That I gave too much
I didn't even think
Did I mess up
Or wasn't I able
It doesn't matter anymore
Who's chasing after
You look at me
I'm not yours anymore
That world of yours
Isn't mine anymore
You go in circles, in the turns life takes
And if you come back, I won't promise to wait
The time to enjoy is gone
I don't think about where we could be anymore
Where we could be
Was I
That I was someone
In that world of yours where nobody gets in
Do you have
The will to give
Maybe I've got
Time to wait
You look at me
I'm not yours anymore
Today your world
Isn't mine anymore
You go in circles, in the turns life takes
And if you come back, I won't promise to wait
The time to enjoy is gone
I don't think about where we could be anymore
You go in circles, in the turns life takes
And if you come back, I won't promise to wait
The time to enjoy is gone
I don't think about where we could be anymore
isn't
I don't think anymore
I don't anymore
I already
I don't anymore
You go in circles, in the turns life takes
And if you come back, I won't promise to wait
The time to enjoy is gone
I don't think about where we could be anymore
You go in circles, in the turns life takes
And if you come back, I won't promise to wait
The time to enjoy is gone
I don't think about where we could be anymore
Where we could be
Where we could be

SONG MEANING

Fernando Daniel spins a musical carousel in “Voltas,” inviting us to feel the dizzying loop of a relationship stuck on repeat. The Portuguese singer questions whether he gave too much, did something wrong, or simply wasn’t enough for someone whose world no longer matches his own. Every line circles back to the same image: both lovers walking in circles, chasing what once was, while life keeps moving.

The hook – “Andas às voltas, nas voltas que a vida dá” – sums it up perfectly: life twists and turns, and so do their feelings. Yet the narrator finally snaps out of the spin. He admits he may still have “time to wait,” but he chooses not to. When the other person returns (“se tu voltas”), he makes no promise to be there, because the moment to enjoy what they had has already passed. “Voltas” is a bittersweet anthem of letting go, reminding us that sometimes the bravest move is to step off the merry-go-round and start walking forward on our own.
