Dona De Mim Lyrics in English IZA

Home / Lyrics Translation / IZA / Dona De Mim

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dona De Mim by IZA from Portuguese to English.

I've gotten lost trying to find myself

I've left not even wanting to come back

I think twice before I speak

'Cause life is crazy, man, life is crazy

I was always quiet, now I'm gonna talk

If you've got a mouth, learn to use it

I know my worth and it's priced in dollars

'Cause life is crazy, man, life is crazy

I got lost along the way

But I won't stop

I've cried seas and rivers

But I don't drown

I always find my 'jeitinho'

It's rough but it's with care

'Cause God made me like this

Owner of myself

I let my faith guide me

I know I'll get there someday

'Cause God made me like this

Owner of myself

I don't care about your opinion anymore

Your judgment doesn't change my view

There were so many yeses that now I say no

'Cause life is crazy, man, life is crazy

I only care about what makes me feel good

Small talk doesn't entertain me

Don't limit me 'cause I wanna go beyond

'Cause life is crazy, man, life is crazy

I got lost along the way

But I won't stop

I've cried seas and rivers

But I don't drown

I always find my 'jeitinho'

It's rough but it's with care

'Cause God made me like this

Owner of myself

I let my faith guide me

I know I'll get there someday

'Cause God made me like this

Owner of myself

I got lost along the way

But I won't stop

I've cried seas and rivers

But I don't drown

I always find my 'jeitinho'

It's rough but it's with care

'Cause God made me like this

Owner of myself

I let my faith guide me

I know I'll get there someday

'Cause God made me like this

Owner of myself

SONG MEANING

Dona de Mim is a vibrant anthem of self-ownership and resilience. IZA sings about getting lost and found, stumbling yet refusing to drown. Each verse celebrates learning to speak up, trusting her own worth (valued in “dollars” for extra flair), and filtering out anything that does not nourish her soul. The catchy refrain “porque a vida é louca” reminds us that life is wild, so we need to be even wilder in our determination to steer it.

The song mixes tenderness and toughness: IZA admits to crying “seas and rivers,” then proudly says she still keeps going, guided by faith and by her signature Brazilian jeitinho—a clever way of making things work. In short, “Dona de Mim” invites listeners to drop other people’s labels, listen to their inner compass, and claim the thrilling role of being the boss of their own story.
