Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Navegador by Mallu Magalhães from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

Do whatever you want but don't deny me

Make up an excuse that'll pass

Think whatever you want but don't fool yourself

I wasn't born to watch the world collapse

I don't need to hear your thoughts

Everything around says it's the end

Say whatever you want but don't wait for me

'Cause this time I'm not gonna try

To convince you of anything

Want

To swim in the waves of happiness

Have

The strong torso of a navigator

Want

To taste the honey of freedom

Have

The bare feet of a fisherman

Verse 2

You'll find me on a corner

And you'll ask me how I am

I'll tell you some nonsense

I don't need you to look out for me anymore

You'll watch me walking down the street

I don't have time to waste anymore

My eyes now see other waters

I don't need you to cry for me anymore

Want

To swim in the waves of happiness

Have

The strong torso of a navigator

Want

To taste the honey of freedom

Have

The bare feet of a fisherman

SONG MEANING

Mallu Magalhães invites us on a sun-drenched voyage of self-discovery in Navegador. The narrator announces that she will no longer wait, beg, or explain. Instead, she chooses to nadar nas ondas da felicidade (swim in waves of happiness) and taste the mel da liberdade (honey of freedom). Ocean imagery turns her heart into a sturdy ship’s trunk and her feet into those of a barefoot fisherman, highlighting resilience, simplicity, and the thrill of steering her own course.

Although someone from her past may still ask how she is, she no longer needs their gaze or their tears. The world might say it is the end, yet she decides it is only the beginning of her personal adventure. Navegador is a playful yet empowering anthem that celebrates breaking free from expectations, trusting your inner compass, and savoring every salty-sweet moment along the way.
