Saiu Para A Rua Lyrics in English Luisa Sobral

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Saiu Para A Rua by Luisa Sobral from Portuguese to English.
She headed out to the street, determined
With her brown purse
And the dark skirt-suit
So many years, so many nights
Without even one crazy moment
He left without saying anything
Maybe he went to the Chino theater
He'll come back at dawn
And wake her up, full of wine
So many years, so many nights
Never feeling any passion
Their silver anniversary's already passed
Celebrated in solitude
She put on a bit of lipstick
And a light touch of makeup
She took the barrette out of her hair
Brought innocence back to her face
She stepped into the street, unsure
She wandered aimlessly
She smiled at a man, trembling
And felt slipping from her heart
The hot dampness of madness

SONG MEANING

Saiu Para A Rua paints the quiet yet thrilling moment when an ordinary woman chooses freedom over routine. After “so many years, so many nights” of a passionless marriage—even their silver-anniversary was spent in solitude—she finally steps outside with her brown purse and dark skirt-jacket. A dab of lipstick, a loosened hairpin, and she walks into the night unsure of her path but hungry for feeling. The city becomes her stage: every stranger a possible co-conspirator, every corner a chance to rewrite her story.

Luísa Sobral turns this small nocturnal walk into a celebration of late-blooming courage. The trembling smile she offers a passer-by, and the warm rush “slipping from her heart,” capture the instant when repression melts into reckless hope. The song invites listeners to ask themselves: When was the last time I did something just for the thrill of being alive?
