Planeta Borboleta Lyrics in English Mariana Nolasco

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Planeta Borboleta by Mariana Nolasco from Portuguese to English.
What's the color of the planet you live on?
What's the color of the planet
You hide in now?
What's the pain of the planet you live on?
What's the pain of the planet
That hits you and thrives in me?
Of all the comets
That crashed right into yours
Butterfly planet that flew
Far from mine
What's the flower of the planet you live on
What's the flower of the planet
You took away
What's the pain of the planet that blooms
What's the pain of the planet
That hits you and won't last
Of all the planets
And the colors they have
Violet planet was the color
Of the flower on yours
I miss you
I miss having myself
On your planet
I miss you
I miss having you
On my planet
I miss you
I miss having you
On a planet that's ours
Of all the loves
And the flowers I gave you
The violet planet
Was the letter I left
I miss you
I miss having myself
On your planet
I miss you
I miss having you
On my planet
Because the longing for you
Because the longing to have you
Was bigger than myself
Of all the loves
And the flowers I gave you
The butterfly planet
Was the letter I kept

SONG MEANING

Planeta Borboleta paints a dreamy, cosmic landscape where love is a whole new world—or rather, a whole new planet. Mariana Nolasco wonders about the color, the flower, and even the pain that inhabit this distant place where her loved one now hides. Comets crash, butterflies fly away, and violet hues glow, all to illustrate how unique and irreplaceable that shared universe once felt.

Beneath the celestial imagery lies a simple yet powerful feeling: saudade, the deep Brazilian word for longing. The singer misses her partner, misses herself when she was with them, and aches to merge their "planets" once more. The song turns every color, flower, and letter into a keepsake of a love that is far away but still alive in memory—inviting listeners to travel through space and emotion at the same time.
