O Vento Lyrics in English Los Hermanos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song O Vento by Los Hermanos from Portuguese to English.
I can hear the wind pass
Watch the wave crash
But the damage it does
Life's too short to see
I thought
That when I die
I'll wake up to time
And for time to stop
A century, a month
Three lives and more
One step back?
Why's that?
I'll think
How can anyone dream
What it's impossible to know
Not telling you what I think
Is already thinking of saying
And I saw that
The wind takes it away!
I don't know but I feel it's like dreaming
That the effort to remember
Is the wish to forget
And that, why?
Say more
If we don't know anymore
To laugh at each other, my love
Then what's left is to cry
And maybe
If it has to last
Love comes reborn
Blessed by tears
A century, three
If the lives behind
Are part of us
And what's it gonna be?
The wind will slowly say what'll come
And if it rains too much
We'll know for sure from a thunderclap
If someone then smiles in peace
Just from meeting

SONG MEANING

“O Vento” whirls listeners into a poetic meditation on time, memory, and the gentle power of change. The wind in the title is a messenger that carries waves, dreams, and even our unspoken thoughts. As the singer listens to the breeze and watches the sea, he realizes how fleeting life is, wondering what happens after we pass on and whether past lives still echo inside us. The song plays with paradoxes: remembering feels like wanting to forget, thinking of saying something is already a kind of speech. All of this paints a picture of how hard it is to grasp the intangible, yet how beautiful it is to try.

Amid questions and uncertainties, Los Hermanos find hope in love’s ability to be “reborn, blessed by tears.” If laughter between lovers fades, tears can water new beginnings. The wind promises to reveal what is coming, and thunder will make the message unmistakable. In the end, the song invites us to trust the natural rhythms of life, accept what we cannot control, and believe that after the storm someone will smile in peace simply because they have met another heart.
