Verse 1

I heard, felt, the body carrying

We continue like this, one and another, one and another, one and another

I'm free falling, I'll let you know when I arrive

I surrender here, little by little

Long steps, stuck in the start

I want to let go of what left me wounded

I ask the mother star to make the day dawn again

Chorus 1

I transformed every verse of me

And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns

The light beats on the chest and opens

I'm a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns

Verse 2

Today I want to prove to myself

That I can be whatever I want

Gather those who love me around a table

Forgive those who wanted to see me suffer

They don't fool me

I am all the size

Or: 'I am of any size' / 'I encompass all sizes'

I still remember when I was little

I used to dream first

Long steps, stuck in the start

Today I let go of what left me wounded

And I ask the mother star to make the day dawn again

Chorus 2

I transformed every verse of me

And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns

The light beats on the chest and opens

I'm a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns

I'm a flame that still burns, still burns

It burns, burns, burns

Chorus 3

I transformed every verse of me

And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns

The light beats on the chest and opens

I'm a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns

estrela-mãe — mother star

Estrela-mãe is a beautifully poetic compound word that literally translates to "mother star".

In this empowering anthem, iolanda sings, "Peço à estrela-mãe que faça o dia nascer de novo" (I ask the mother star to make the day be born again). She uses this striking celestial metaphor to represent a guiding light or a higher power, perfectly capturing her deep desire for healing and a completely fresh start.

iolanda's "Grito" is a powerful song about healing and reclaiming your own strength. She starts by describing a feeling of being weighed down, of being stuck in a difficult situation. She calls herself a "queda livre" [freefall], but it's a freefall with a destination. The song is her journey to let go of past pain, singing, "Hoje eu largo aquilo me deixou ferida" [Today I let go of what hurt me].

This isn't just about forgetting, though. It's an active process of self-transformation. She sings about changing every part of herself—"Transformei cada verso de mim" [I transformed every verse of myself]—and finding an inner courage that she describes as a burning flame. The core of the song is this idea of resilience, repeating the line "Sou chama que ainda arde" [I am a flame that still burns]. It's a declaration that even after being hurt, she has the power to start over, forgive others, and become whoever she wants to be.
