A Solidão É Uma Ressaca Lyrics in English Marília Mendonça , Maiara & Maraisa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Solidão É Uma Ressaca by Marília Mendonça from Portuguese to English.
Hoje quando eu acordei
Today when I woke up
Olhei pra mim e perguntei
Looked at myself and asked
Aonde foi que eu me perdi?
Where did I get lost?
Sozinha eu saí da casa dele
I left his house alone
Acho que briguei com ele
I think I fought with him
Lembro que foi bem assim
I remember it was exactly like that
Depois que brigamos fui embora
After we fought, I left
Decidi naquela hora
I decided right then
Tomar uma pra esquecer
To have a drink to forget
Coração apaixonado, mas bandido
A heart in love, but a rogue
Encontrou outro ferido
Found another wounded one
E era lindo de morrer
And it was drop-dead gorgeous
Eu nem me lembro
I don't even remember
Como foi que terminou
How it ended
Se a gente fez amor
If we made love
Ou só falou de solidão
Or just talked about loneliness
Só sei que agora
All I know is that now
Eu estou tão dividida
I'm so torn
Acordei fiquei perdida
I woke up lost
Com o coração na mão
With my heart in my hand
Tanta paixão
So much passion
Loucura que não passa
A madness that won't go away
Amor bandido e solidão é uma ressaca
Rogue love and loneliness is a hangover
Tanta paixão
So much passion
Loucura que não passa
A madness that won't go away
Amor bandido e solidão é uma ressaca
Rogue love and loneliness is a hangover
Hoje quando eu acordei
Today when I woke up
Olhei pra mim e perguntei
Looked at myself and asked
Aonde foi que eu me perdi?
Where did I get lost?
Sozinha eu saí da casa dele
I left his house alone
Acho que briguei com ele
I think I fought with him
Lembro que foi bem assim
I remember it was exactly like that
Depois que brigamos fui embora
After we fought, I left
Decidi naquela hora
I decided right then
Tomar uma pra esquecer
To have a drink to forget
Coração apaixonado, mas bandido
A heart in love, but a rogue
Encontrou outro ferido
Found another wounded one
E era linda de morrer
And it was drop-dead gorgeous
Eu nem me lembro
I don't even remember
Como foi que terminou
How it ended
Se a gente fez amor
If we made love
Ou só falou de solidão
Or just talked about loneliness
Só sei que agora
All I know is that now
Eu estou tão dividida
I'm so torn
Acordei fiquei perdida
I woke up lost
Com o coração na mão
With my heart in my hand
Tanta paixão
So much passion
Loucura que não passa
A madness that won't go away
Amor bandido e solidão é uma ressaca
Rogue love and loneliness is a hangover
Tanta paixão
So much passion
Loucura que não passa
A madness that won't go away
Amor bandido e solidão é uma ressaca
Rogue love and loneliness is a hangover
Tanta paixão
So much passion
Loucura que não passa
A madness that won't go away
Amor bandido e solidão é uma ressaca
Rogue love and loneliness is a hangover

Ressaca literally translates to "hangover", as in the aftermath of drinking too much alcohol. It's a common word in Portuguese, but its use in this song is particularly interesting.

Marília Mendonça uses it metaphorically to describe the emotional aftermath of a tumultuous night of passion and confusion. She sings "solidão é uma ressaca" (loneliness is a hangover), equating the painful, disoriented feeling of a hangover with the emotional toll of loneliness and a complicated love. This clever comparison makes the word stand out and adds depth to the song's theme.

"A Solidão É Uma Ressaca" ("Loneliness Is a Hangover") is a sertanejo duet by Maiara & Maraisa featuring Marília Mendonça. The singer wakes up after a night out and cannot piece together what happened: she left her partner's house alone after a fight, had a few drinks to forget, and ended up with someone else, someone she calls "bandit love."

She is not even sure if anything really happened between them or if they just talked about being lonely. The chorus compares that tangled, aching feeling to a hangover: so much passion, so much madness that will not fade, and in the end it is just love gone wrong mixed with loneliness. It's a classic sofrência song, the heartbreak-soaked style Marília Mendonça became known for, turning a messy morning-after into a catchy, relatable anthem about drowning heartbreak in a good time.
