Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sua Onda by Marisa Monte from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Lavei a alma pra começar
I washed my soul to begin with
Nadei na água, pisei no chão
I swam in the water, I stepped on the ground
No meu caminho cruzei deserto de peito aberto na contramão
On my way I crossed the desert with my chest open in the opposite direction
Mirei o mar respirei o ar
I looked at the sea, I breathed the air
Já conversei com meu coração
I already talked to my heart
Não tem por que não dar certo
There's no reason it won't work
Se o universo pode caber num grão
If the universe can fit into a grain
Eu só quero ver
I just want to see
Eu só quero dar
I just want to give
Eu só quero ir
I just want to go
Você vai me levar
Will you take me
Eu só quero bem
I just want good
Eu só quero crer
I just want to believe
Eu só quero ser
I just want to be
Eu só quero ver
I just want to see
Eu só quero dar
I just want to give
Eu só quero ir
I just want to go
E o amor vai me levar
And love will take me
Deixa sacudir
Let it shake
Deixa balançar
Let it swing
Eu só quero ser
I just want to be
Lavei a alma pra começar
I washed my soul to begin with
Nadei na água, pisei no chão
I swam in the water, I stepped on the ground
No meu caminho cruzei deserto de peito aberto na contramão
On my way I crossed the desert with my chest open in the opposite direction
Mirei o mar respirei o ar
I looked at the sea, I breathed the air
Já conversei com meu coração
I already talked to my heart
Não tem por que não dar certo
There's no reason it won't work
Se o universo pode caber na mão
If the universe can fit in your hand
Eu só quero ver
I just want to see
