Era Amor Lyrics in English Mariana Nolasco

Home / Lyrics Translation / Mariana Nolasco / Era Amor

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

I left

As soon as our time was up

In the end my breath didn't even wait for me

To say I wanted to come back

Even without a way to prove it to you

That enough is still too little

And show you

For when you're far from here

Remember I never thought of leaving

And when you don't know where to go

I'm here

Because it was love

That Wednesday argument

That made the whole neighborhood move out

And that was loving

Our mess since the first time

That we made and promised ourselves

One

I left

As soon as our time was up

In the end my breath didn't even wait for me

To say I wanted to come back

Even without a way to prove it to you

That enough is still too little

And show you

For when you're far from here

Remember I never thought of leaving

And when you don't know where to go

I'm here

Because it was love

That Wednesday argument

That made the whole neighborhood move out

And that was loving

Our mess since the first time

That we made and promised ourselves

One

SONG MEANING

“Era Amor” feels like opening an old photo album of a passionate relationship that burned bright and loud. Mariana Nolasco sings from the perspective of someone who walked away the second the clock ran out, only to realize her heart stayed behind. The lyrics replay explosive Wednesday-night arguments that had the neighbors packing their bags, yet label those clashes as proof of real love. Every chorus circles back to the confession that even their noisy confusion was still amar — true, imperfect, all-consuming affection.

At its core, the song is a love letter wrapped in regret and hope. She admits she left without breath to explain herself, but promises she never meant to leave for good. Whenever her partner feels lost, she reminds them, “Tô aqui” — “I’m here.” The message is simple and powerful: love can be messy, loud, and complicated, but it remains a magnetic force that pulls two people back together, no matter the distance or the doubts.
