Lá De Onde Eu Vim Lyrics in English Mariana Nolasco

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lá De Onde Eu Vim by Mariana Nolasco from Portuguese to English.
Back where I came from
Everything's done with love
Wisdom is keeping your essence
Caring less about stuff
Because things come and go
Back where I came from
Smiles are genuine
There's mysteries
Hidden in songs
You can see the horizon and the sky
Mom used to kiss my forehead
I miss her so much
I miss the street stuff
When life was way prettier
Freedom was a rain shower
Every drop on my skin made me smile
I miss the street stuff
Barefoot and butterflies in the stomach
When I thought people were so pure
Joy was always welcome
Back where I came from
Everybody's transparent
It's people
Back where I came from
When I open the window
Watercolor
I let the sunlight in
You can see the horizon and the sky
Birds throwing a party
and her kiss
I miss the street stuff
When life was way prettier
Freedom was a rain shower
Every drop on my skin made me smile
I miss the street stuff
Barefoot and butterflies in the stomach
When I thought people were so pure
Joy was always welcome
I owe everything to the place I grew up
To the friends I chose
That's the value I carry in my chest
There's nothing in return
I know one day I'll leave here
A piece of me will stay
In people's memories
Of the place where I came from
I miss the street stuff
When life was way prettier
Freedom was a rain shower
Every drop on my skin made me smile
I miss the street stuff
Barefoot and butterflies in the stomach
When I thought people were so pure
Joy was always welcome

SONG MEANING

“Lá De Onde Eu Vim” is Mariana Nolasco’s warm postcard to the place that shaped her heart. Through vivid snapshots—bare-foot adventures, rain-soaked laughter, birds celebrating the sunrise—she celebrates a hometown where everything is made with love. The lyrics paint a picture of sincere smiles, transparent people, and wisdom that lies in keeping life simple. Every verse drips with nostalgia: she misses the street games, the harmless butterflies in her stomach, and the freedom that felt as easy as dancing under a summer shower.

At its core, the song is a gentle reminder that our roots give us priceless values. Mariana thanks her village, her friends, and her childhood memories for the treasures she now carries in her chest. Even when she has to leave, a piece of her will stay right there, alive in the memories of the people she loves. Listening to this song is like opening a sunlit window onto a watercolor horizon where joy is always welcome and authenticity never fades.
