Carta Aberta Lyrics in English MC Cabelinho

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carta Aberta by MC Cabelinho from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Not even a little worried
About someone else's life
Verse 1
'Cause only my life matters to me
Only my life matters to me, ooh
Verse 1
And the goal is to stay laser-focused on the plans
I keep my mind in place
Time goes by and things keep changing
And what's gone won't ever come back
I saw many saying they dream of having my life
Could you really handle my spot?
Fame is something a lot of people want
But they don't even imagine the price to pay
And it doesn't stop there
It only tends to get worse
This will never end
This will never stop
This is the life I chose
There's no use complaining
Haters are like that, they'll want to see you fall
But I doubt you can knock me down
Nobody's gonna make me cry
Nobody's gonna belittle me
Verse 1
I know deep down I didn't wanna be alone
But fate chose it that way
Verse 1
I just want you to be alright
May someone else make you happy
Verse 1
And now time will heal all the wounds
And our story's kept right here
Verse 2
You walked into the path of the wrong guy
Don't think it's forgotten, that it's abandoned
I'm gonna get back at everybody who laughed at me
Everybody who laughed at me
I'm gonna get back at everybody who laughed at me
I wrote down your name
I know your address
Verse 2
I know you're sh*tting yourself
That you're dying of fear
Verse 2
I'm gonna get back at everybody who laughed at me
Everybody who laughed at me
I'm gonna get back at everybody who laughed at me
Everybody who laughed at me
Let some time go by
I wrote down your name
I know your address
I know you're sh*tting yourself
That you're dying of fear
I'm gonna get back at everybody who laughed at me
Everybody who laughed at me
I'm gonna get back at everybody who laughed at me
Everybody who laughed at me
Let some time go by

SONG MEANING

"Carta Aberta" feels like a raw diary entry in rap form. MC Cabelinho opens up about keeping his eyes on his own path, blocking out gossip and envy while revealing the hidden cost of fame. He admits that success can be lonely and that the past cannot be rewound, yet he stays laser-focused on his dreams and refuses to let anyone belittle him.

The second half flips from reflection to warning. Cabelinho addresses those who mocked him, promising payback now that the tables have turned. Beneath the tough talk you still sense vulnerability: he wishes an old love well and trusts time to heal wounds even as he plans his revenge. The song is both a confession and a challenge—part motivational speech, part cautionary tale about the shadows that follow stardom.
