Home / Lyrics Translation / Os Quatro E Meia / A Terra Gira

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Terra Gira by Os Quatro E Meia from Portuguese to English.

I don't know

Not how or when I got here

Unaware

I find myself living on the run

And the world keeps going

Without looking at us

We want everything

Yet we live it all alone

The earth spins the wrong way

We get dizzy with no direction

We run till we're out of breath

And life keeps getting pushed back

And the two of us keep dreaming

Barely saw myself

On the road till I got here

Unplanned

I run blind

Not knowing where I'll end up

And the world keeps going

Without looking at us

We want everything

Yet we live it all alone

The earth spins the wrong way

We get dizzy with no direction

We run till we're out of breath

And life keeps getting pushed back

And the two of us keep dreaming

And the earth spins the wrong way

We get dizzy with no direction

We run till we're out of breath

And life keeps getting pushed back

And the two of us keep dreaming

The earth spins the wrong way

We get dizzy with no direction

We run till we're out of breath

And life keeps getting pushed back

And the two of us keep dreaming

And the two of us keep on

And the two of us keep dreaming

And as soon as we hit the sheets

With the moon lighting up this two-bed

In a flash we both fall asleep

But right away it's time to wake up

SONG MEANING

“A Terra Gira” is like a dizzy carousel ride through modern life. The singer suddenly realizes he’s sprinting through his days, breathless, while the planet seems to spin the wrong way. We chase “everything,” yet somehow experience it all alone, bumping into the emptiness that comes from living on fast-forward. The lyrics paint a picture of people who keep running until they are out of air and direction, postponing real life for “later.”

Yet amid the chaos there is a tender anchor: two dreamers. Even if the world whirls in “contramão” (the wrong lane), they slip under the sheets of their small apartment, let the moon flood the room, and share a quick, comforting sleep before the next alarm rings. The song is a playful reminder to slow down, breathe, and cherish the shared dreams that make the spinning worthwhile.
