Ouro De Tolo Lyrics in English Marina Sena

Ouro De Tolo begins in the rubble of a breakup: the door slams, the sun vanishes, and the singer is left wondering who is to blame. Marina Sena paints this early scene with raw confusion—“Não sei o que é meu / Não sei o que é seu”—then quickly flips the lens onto her ex, calling him hipócrita for hiding behind cold logic. Little by little, the sparkle of the relationship fades, revealing a cheap imitation of love. The title phrase, ouro de tolo (fool’s gold), sums it up perfectly: not everything that glitters is precious, and this romance was never the treasure it seemed.

In the second half the mood shifts from sorrow to fierce self-confidence. Marina recognizes her own power—her energia, her connection to the Orixás, and her ability to “set his fuse alight.” She announces that she will thrive while he, stuck in the past, “dies of thirst without water.” What starts as heartbreak ends as an anthem of self-worth: a reminder that real gold lies within, and that anyone who tries to shine by stealing someone else’s light will eventually be left in the dark.
