Câncer Lyrics in English Hotelo , Vitória Falcão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Câncer by Hotelo from Portuguese to English.
Water on hard stone
Beats till it pierces
Don't feel insecure if I say
That it's all madness
The world has no cure, love
Feel and protect, I know you rule
Every tide of the sea
But don't hide in the cocoon
Without you it's not safe to live, believe it
You'll cook and you'll get hurt
If this food burns
You'll cry
And I'll fall in love
At home we'll stay
I always wanna be your pair
La ra ra ia
They'll say it's drama
With this you win me
The world must get your pain
Your fear is beautiful
And you only live love-struck
Feel and protect, I know you rule
Every tide of the sea
But don't hide in the cocoon
Without you it's not safe to live, believe it
I'll cook and I'll get hurt
And if this food burns
I'll cry, I will
And I'll fall in love
At home we'll stay
I always wanna be your pair
La ra ra ia

SONG MEANING

💧 Câncer paints the picture of a tender, almost astral romance between two ultra-sensitive souls. Hotelo and Vitória Falcão use watery images — “Água em pedra dura” and “você rege todas as marés do mar” — to hint at the Cancer zodiac sign, famous for ruling the tides and for feeling everything deeply. The singer reassures their Cancer lover that the world may be chaotic, yet their vulnerability is beautiful. Instead of hiding in a safe cocoon, they are invited to share life’s little rituals: cooking dinner, maybe burning the food, crying a bit, then laughing and falling in love all over again.

🏠 The chorus is a cozy promise: “Em casa a gente vai ficar / Pra sempre quero ser seu par.” Home is the castle, emotions are the currency, and every dramatic tear only tightens the bond. In short, the song celebrates the gentle power of Cancers — their protective nature, their fear of getting hurt, and their magical ability to turn a simple night in into an eternal love story.
