Borboleta Lyrics in English Melim

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Borboleta by Melim from Portuguese to English.
I found my future
Deep in your eyes
Whether it's sun or a flood
Everything changes but you and I don't
Like butterflies
That love nature
And the garden that was
Just dry leaves, spring
In plenty or in little
We have each other
Forever is a breath
I wanna love you way more
Love's meant to be this beautiful
We're free to leave
But we don't, we don't
It's about beginning and never ending
I'm your garden
I'll look after myself and then
Butterfly, you live in me
In plenty or in little
We have each other
Forever is a breath
I wanna love you way more
Love's meant to be this beautiful
We're free to leave
But we don't, we don't
It's about beginning and never ending
I'm your garden
I'll look after myself and then
Butterfly, you live in me
Let me learn you
Teach me to be happy
Years will fly by, unhurried
Love will put down roots
I tried to convince myself
I reached the conclusion
I can't stay without you
Love's meant to be this beautiful
We're free to leave
But we don't, we don't
It's about beginning and never ending
I'm your garden
I'll look after myself and then
Butterfly, you live in me
Butterfly, you live in me

SONG MEANING

Imagine a butterfly fluttering into a garden of dry leaves and, with a single touch, turning everything into spring. That is the feeling Melim captures in “Borboleta.” The singer finds their future in a loved one’s eyes and declares that, come sunshine or storm, nothing can shake the bond they share. Like a butterfly that belongs to nature, their love brings color and life wherever it lands, transforming everyday moments into blooming seasons.

The lyrics celebrate a relationship built on freedom and commitment. “A gente é livre pra ir, só que não vai” (We are free to go, yet we stay) reveals lovers who could wander away but choose each other again and again. They promise to nurture themselves and the partnership, letting the passing years plant deep roots rather than rush by. Playful, warm, and hopeful, “Borboleta” is a reminder that true love is both gentle and powerful – it starts in an instant and, like a butterfly residing in your heart, never really ends.
