Deixei Lyrics in English Mariana Nolasco

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Deixei by Mariana Nolasco from Portuguese to English.

I let time show me who I am

I lost the fear of finding love

I changed my gaze before the flower

That pointed beauty out to me

Where I only saw pain

I kept the feeling I wanted

You to feel right now

And I know if I told you

You'd listen some other time

And what I wanted to tell you

Is that the feeling in my heart

Went alone to conquer

The peace that once was an illusion

And what I wanted to tell you

If you knew

How I feel right now

If you could see

That to live there's no right time

If you knew

How I feel right now

If you could see

That to live there's no right time

I took it 'cause I didn't want

You to throw it away

Because I know if I left it to you

You'd let it go away

And what I wanted to tell you

Is that the feeling in my heart

Went alone to conquer

The peace that once was an illusion

And what I wanted to tell you

If you knew

How I feel right now

If you could see

That to live there's no right time

If you knew

How I feel right now

If you could see

That to live there's no right time

SONG MEANING

Feel the gentle breeze of self-discovery in Mariana Nolasco’s “Deixei.”

In this reflective pop-folk gem, the Brazilian singer invites us on a journey from fear to freedom. She begins by letting time reveal her true self, trading anxiety for openness to love. A single flower changes her perspective: where she once saw dor (pain), she now spots beleza (beauty). Instead of blurting out her emotions at the wrong moment, she safeguards them, trusting that her heart will find its own way to peace—a peace she once believed was just an illusion.

The chorus glows with a simple insight: “If only you knew how I feel now… to live, there is no set hour.” It is a reminder that life and love refuse to follow a strict timetable. By the final lines, she carries her feelings close, knowing they might be discarded if left in another’s hands. “Deixei” is ultimately a song about owning your emotions, embracing the present, and realizing that true inner calm arrives when we listen to ourselves first.
