Below, I translated the lyrics of the song ILHA by Luan Santana from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

I want you to promise

That you'll commit

Verse 1

To go look for another love on another planet

So I won't see you

Sitting at the table

Verse 1

Laughing for no reason while another mouth

Kisses you

Verse 1

Oh oh oh

I'll swallow my heart

To love myself from the inside

'Cause we both know

That so much suffering

Is a waste of time

I'll turn disappointment

Into a new start

The past is a mistake

The present's only right

Love, I promise you

I'll also look

For another love on another planet

I stash your jealousy in any drawer

First we face it

Then we accept it

That loves come, loves go

You go to the sky, back to the ground

And when you're about to drown

In the sea of life

Somebody comes, somebody comes

Who becomes an island

I'll swallow my heart

To love myself from the inside

'Cause we both know

That so much suffering

Is a waste of time

I'll turn disappointment

Into a new start

The past is a mistake

The present's only right

Love, I promise you

I'll also look

For another love on another planet

I stash your jealousy in any drawer

First we face it

Then we accept it

That loves come, loves go

You go to the sky, back to the ground

And when you're about to drown

In the sea of life

Somebody comes, somebody comes

I'll also look

For another love on another planet

I stash your jealousy in any drawer

First we face it

Then we accept it

That loves come, loves go

You go to the sky, back to the ground

And when you're about to drown

In the sea of life

Somebody comes, somebody comes

Who becomes an island

SONG MEANING

In ILHA, Luan Santana turns heartbreak into a cosmic adventure. Rather than watching his former love laugh in someone else’s arms, he jokingly suggests they both hunt for a brand-new romance on another planet. Swallowing his own heart so he can “love himself from the inside,” the singer decides that endless suffering is just wasted time. Every disappointment becomes rocket fuel for a fresh start, and jealousy gets stuffed away in a drawer.

The chorus reminds us that love is like an ocean: waves lift you to the sky, then drop you back to the sand. When you feel you might drown in all those emotions, the right person can appear as an island — a safe place to rest and begin again. ILHA is a hopeful anthem about learning from the past, embracing the present, and believing that somewhere out there, even on another planet, a new love and a new version of yourself are waiting.
