Penhasco. Lyrics in English Luísa Sonza

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Penhasco. by Luísa Sonza from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I knew the fall was big
But I had to jump
Verse 1
I wanted us to go higher
When I held your hand you let go of mine
And you still pushed me off the cliff
And saying I love you now is even weirder
What's really weird is seeing you distant
Putting our love on a shelf
I had to unlearn loving you so much
Why you do this?
Don't talk about me like that
And I know you cry
Don't pretend you didn't live our whole story
My God, I begged so hard for you not to go
But I have to follow my path now
And I know you cry
Don't pretend you didn't live our whole story
My God, I begged so hard for you not to go
But I have to follow my path now
You know exactly who I am
You know if you call I'll come
You know exactly who I am
You know that if you call me I'll come
Verse 2
And I don't feel anger, I feel nothing but
What you already know
Even worse, you know it well, my love
How much I tried
That I don't feel anger, I feel nothing else
What you already know
Even worse, you know it well, my love
How much I tried
I had to unlearn loving you so much
Why you do this?
Don't talk about me like that
And I know you cry
But I have to follow my path now
And I know you cry
Don't pretend you didn't live our whole story
My God, I begged so hard for you not to go
But I have to follow my path now
You know exactly who I am
You know if you call I'll come
You know exactly who I am
You know that if you call me I'll come

SONG MEANING

Penhasco – which means Cliff – finds Brazilian star Luísa Sonza contemplating a love that pushed her right to the edge. The lyrics paint a cinematic scene: she knew the fall would hurt, yet she still jumped, hoping the relationship could soar higher. Instead, the other person let go of her hand and even gave her that final shove. The cliff becomes a striking metaphor for sudden heartbreak, the shock of realizing that the one you trusted most is the same one who made you plunge.

Despite the pain, the song is not only about sorrow. It talks about acceptance, strength, and moving forward. Luísa admits she had to “unlearn” loving this person, reminding learners that sometimes healing means rewiring our hearts. She recognizes that both of them still cry over the past, yet she chooses to follow her own path. Her refrain “Você sabe bem quem eu sou” (“You know exactly who I am”) reclaims her identity. Penhasco is ultimately an emotional anthem of self-respect: a powerful reminder that even after a devastating drop, you can pick yourself up and walk on, stronger than before.
