Paz E Amor Lyrics in English by Melim
Empatia translates directly to "empathy". It's a beautiful and meaningful word that, while understood, isn't as commonly featured in pop song lyrics as words like "love" or "peace".
In "Paz E Amor," Melim explicitly calls for empatia among all peoples and nations, highlighting its importance for a world free of conflict. This makes it a central and impactful word in the song's message of unity and understanding.
Melim opens this one like a hug: "Te amo demais, nunca se esqueça" (I love you so much, never forget it), then "Pro que der e vier, 'cê sabe / Eu 'to aqui, eu 'to aqui" (Whatever comes, you know / I'm here, I'm here). Then the advice gets almost comically practical. "Positividade cura a dor / A dor de cabeça" (Positivity cures the pain / The headache), they sing, as if good vibes were an aspirin, and they tell you that finding something that makes you laugh is "a chave pra fugir dos seus problemas" (the key to escaping your problems).
The best line is the mirror one: "A bondade que 'cê vê, é o espelho de você / E o mal que faz pro outro te envenena" (The kindness you see is a mirror of you / And the harm you do to others poisons you). From there the trio zooms out to everyone, wishing for "empatia / Entre todos os povos, nações" (empathy / Among all peoples, nations) and shrugging "Chega de briga" (Enough fighting). The chorus asks "Quem no mundo não quer paz e amor?" (Who in the world doesn't want peace and love?), and by the outro they just keep repeating "Quero paz" (I want peace) until the question answers itself.
