Maior Lyrics in English Milton Nascimento , Dani Black

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maior by Milton Nascimento from Portuguese to English.
Intro
I'm bigger than I was before
I'm better than I was yesterday
I'm a child of mystery and silence
Only time will show me who I am
I'm bigger
Than I was before
I'm better
Than I was yesterday
I'm a child of mystery and silence
Only time will show me who I am
I'm bigger
Than I was before
I'm better
Than I was yesterday
I'm a child of mystery and silence
Only time will show me who I am
Verse 1
Colors change
Seedlings grow
When they strip
When they don't forget
Those pains we left behind
Not knowing that cry was worth gold
We're living amid mysteries and silences
Evolving with each moon, each sun
Whether I was right or wrong
Whether I'm a subject or a king
Only tuned to time's voice will I know
I'm bigger
Than I was before
I'm better
Than I was yesterday
I'm a child of mystery and silence
Only time will show me who I am
Verse 2
Colors change
Seedlings grow
When they strip
When they don't forget
Those pains we left behind
Not knowing that cry was worth gold
We're living amid mysteries and silences
Evolving with each moon, each sun
Whether I was right or wrong
Whether I'm a subject or a king
Only tuned to time's voice will I know
I'm bigger
Than I was before
I'm better
Than I was yesterday
I'm a child of mystery and silence
Only time will show me who I am
I'm bigger
Than I was before
I'm better
Than I was yesterday
I'm a child of mystery and silence
Only time will show me who I am
Outro
Only time will show me who I am
Only time will show me who I am
Only time will show me who I am
Only time will show me who I am
Did you like this lyrics translation?

'Maior' invites you to step into a sonic sunrise where legendary Brazilian icon Milton Nascimento joins forces with the fresh voice of Dani Black. Through the hypnotic refrain "I am greater than I was before, I am better than I was yesterday," the song acts like a musical mirror reflecting every stage of your personal evolution. It turns self-improvement into an anthem, reminding us that each small victory over yesterday's self is worth singing about.

The lyrics then color this growth with poetic images: hues that shift, seedlings that push toward the light once they shed their shells, and tears whose hidden worth glitters like gold. All of them whisper the same message - pain can fertilize progress, and identity unfolds only when we listen to the voice of time nestled in mystery and silence. 'Maior' is both meditation and rallying cry, urging you to trust the slow rhythm of transformation and greet each sunrise a little taller, a little wiser, and unmistakably more you.
