Mal Maior Lyrics in English Mimicat

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mal Maior by Mimicat from Portuguese to English.
I know the promises by heart
That we left undone
If we belong to each other
What's missing to move on
Toward a surer path
That lets us snuggle
Take care of us up close
Make the world spin?
We're a bigger evil
We're contradiction!
We're a detail
I steal your breath
You knock me off my feet!
We're a bigger evil
We're contradiction!
We're a detail
I steal your breath
You knock me off my feet!
I know your scent by heart
Your breath's rhythm
I love every flaw
Even the one that hurts
Between laughter and madness
The yes, the no; the good and the bad
We're pain that lingers
But it feels good after all!
We're a bigger evil
We're contradiction!
We're a detail
I steal your breath
You knock me off my feet!
We're a bigger evil
We're contradiction!
We're a detail
I steal your breath
You knock me off my feet!
I toss you up, you knock me down
I toss you up, you knock me down
I toss you up, you knock me down
I toss you up, you knock me down
We're a bigger evil
We're contradiction!
We're a detail
I steal your breath
You knock me off my feet!
We're a bigger evil
We're contradiction!
We're a detail
I steal your breath
You knock me off my feet!

SONG MEANING

Ever loved someone who feels like a deliciously dangerous habit? That is exactly the storm Mimicat captures in Mal Maior (literally “Greater Evil”). From the very first line she recites the unfinished promises both lovers keep memorized, then slips into memories of their scent and rhythm of breath. Love and hurt dance side by side: they adore each other’s flaws even the ones that sting. The couple tries to find “um rumo mais certo” – a surer path – yet they keep falling back into the same magnetic chaos.

The explosive chorus seals the deal: “Somos um mal maior, somos contradição!” – “We are a bigger evil, we are a contradiction!” They steal each other’s air, pull away the ground, and still cannot let go. Mimicat’s soulful delivery turns this push-and-pull into a celebration of passion that is messy, dizzying, and absolutely alive. Mal Maior reminds listeners that some relationships may be toxic, but the spark they light can make the whole world spin – and that thrill is hard to resist.
