Ainda Bem Lyrics in English Marisa Monte

Marisa Monte’s “Ainda Bem” is a love-letter to second chances. The singer starts by confessing that she had practically filed her heart away: loneliness felt normal, past hurts had soured her hopes, and even when people showed interest she just was not in the mood. Suddenly, someone special appears and turns everything upside down. She cannot believe her luck and wonders what she ever did to deserve a partner who makes her both happy and inspired to sing again.

The chorus repeats like a grateful mantra: “Você que me faz feliz, você que me faz cantar” (“You are the one who makes me happy, you are the one who makes me sing”). Each line celebrates how love can revive a weary spirit, transforming resignation into bright, melodic joy. “Ainda bem” means “good thing” or “luckily”, and the entire song is a gleeful thank-you note to fate for delivering love just when she had stopped expecting it. Listening feels like opening a window after a storm and discovering clear blue skies—that sweet moment when you realize your heart is ready to beat loudly again.
