Only now I realized I wasted so much time
I wanted more than what I already have
I just gotta value what life has given me
Now I'm gonna follow my fate
I don't wanna be by your side anymore
To hurt my heart
I don't want, no, I don't want
To hurt my heart
I cried like a boy
When my bedroom door closed
I cried like a boy
When my bedroom door closed
Today whoever's cried will raise a hand
Whoever's been disillusioned, now listen
I cried, that's right, now I'm gonna go out and have fun
Take life easy, take life easy
I don't wanna be by your side anymore
To hurt my heart
I don't want, no, I don't want
To hurt my heart
I cried like a boy
When my bedroom door closed
I cried like a boy
When my bedroom door closed
I cried, like a boy
I cried
I cried
I cried

SONG MEANING

“Eu Chorava” is a turning-point anthem that captures the very moment someone realizes they have cried enough. Nininho sings about the nights he wept like a child behind a closed bedroom door, feeling the sting of disappointment and lost time. Those tears, however, become the spark for change. He admits he once chased “more than what I already have,” yet he finally chooses to appreciate life’s gifts, protect his heart, and walk away from a love that hurts.

The chorus flips sorrow into celebration. Instead of hiding to cry, the singer now invites listeners to raise their hands if they have ever felt disillusioned, then join him in stepping out to “levar a vida numa boa” — to live life lightly and have fun. It is a catchy reminder that self-worth starts when you decide the crying is over, the bedroom door opens, and the real party begins.
