Desculpa Lyrics in English Nina Fernandes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Desculpa by Nina Fernandes from Portuguese to English.
I think there's a lot of happiness in
Calming the ego, you know?
And that's it, it's really good not to be right
Sometimes
And even better, don't worry
About being right
Always, in the moments
When we're really happy
They're not the moments when we're right
Or when our ego got rewarded
They're those pure moments
From any ego force
Of certainty, of presence
It's crazy, right?
You know well that we loved each other
All the time I wanted you with me
Suddenly our sky collapsed
We didn't even touch
And nothing made sense
You don't know
But I haven't forgotten you
It was for you my prettiest song
But I came to say my life changed
My heart settled down
I want to apologize
I swore, you didn't believe
That all of that was a misunderstanding
But I came to say my life changed
My heart settled down
I want to apologize
I came to say my life changed
My heart settled down
I want to apologize
It was without thinking
My love, forgive me
It was without thinking
My love, forgive me
It was without thinking
My love, forgive me
It was without thinking
My love, forgive me

SONG MEANING

Nina Fernandes turns a simple apology into a heartfelt life lesson in "Desculpa". The song opens with a reflective spoken passage that celebrates the freedom of letting go of ego. True joy, she suggests, is found not in proving ourselves right but in the quiet moments when pride steps aside. From there, Nina recounts a love that once felt destined yet suddenly collapsed. She admits she never stopped caring, confessing that her most beautiful song was written for this very person.

Now, having found inner peace, she returns with a sincere plea: "Meu amor, me desculpa." The chorus repeats this apology like a soothing mantra, illustrating how growth often begins with a simple "sorry." "Desculpa" is part self-reflection, part love letter, and entirely relatable – a reminder that mending hearts can start with humility and a tune we cannot stop humming.
