Tempo Perdido Lyrics in English Legião Urbana

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tempo Perdido by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Every day when I wake up
I no longer have the time that's gone
But I have lots of time
We've got all the time in the world
Every day before sleeping
I remember and forget how the day was
Always forward
We don't have time to waste
Our sacred sweat
Is far more beautiful than that bitter blood
And so serious
And wild
Wild
Wild
Look at the sun of this so gray morning
The storm that's coming is the color of your eyes
Brown
So hold me tight
Tell me once more that we're already
Far from everything
We've got our own time
We've got our own time
We've got our own time
I'm not afraid of the dark
But leave the lights on
Now
What was hidden is what's hidden away
And what was promised, nobody promised
Nor was it wasted time
We're so young
So young
So young

SONG MEANING

Tempo Perdido (“Lost Time”) feels like opening a diary at sunrise and finding a love letter to the present. Renato Russo wakes up, realizes yesterday is gone, yet immediately cheers, “Temos todo o tempo do mundo” – we still have all the time in the world. The song swings between reflective calm and wild urgency, telling us that sacred sweat, born from living intensely, is far more beautiful than the bitter blood of regret. Every line taps the shoulder of anyone who has ever counted the minutes, whispering that the only clock that matters is the one beating in our chest.

When the chorus repeats “Temos nosso próprio tempo,” it becomes a liberating mantra: hug tighter, keep the lights on even if you are not afraid of the dark, and remember that nothing was truly wasted. The gray morning skies, the storm colored like brown eyes, the plea “Somos tão jovens” – all fuse into a rallying cry to stay curious, fearless, and passionately alive. In just a few verses, Legião Urbana turns everyday doubts into a joyful rebellion, proving that youth is not an age but a decision we can make at any moment.
