Olá, Solidão Lyrics in English Os Quatro E Meia

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Olá, Solidão by Os Quatro E Meia from Portuguese to English.
I used to be like that
So focused on me
Not wanting advice
From nobody
I made the clouds my home
I jumped without looking
Believing that in the end
Everything would turn out fine
I made a banner of an old saying
Better alone than in bad company
I didn't even think about setting
My feet on the ground
Hello, loneliness
Hello, loneliness
I had a place
With a sea view
That nobody ever got
To know
I flew close to the sky
Everything was just mine
And what wasn't yet, would be
I look around
Now I'm alone
I ignored the signs on the way
Didn't even stop to ask directions
Hello, loneliness
Hello, loneliness
Hello, loneliness
Hello, loneliness
I made a banner of an old saying
Better alone than in bad company
I didn't even think about setting
My feet on the ground
I look around
Now I'm alone
I ignored the signs on the way
Didn't even stop to ask directions
Hello, loneliness
Hello, loneliness
Hello, loneliness
Hello, loneliness
I used to be like that
So focused on me
Not wanting advice
From nobody

SONG MEANING

Olá, Solidão invites us into the mind of someone who once soared solo with total confidence. He brushed off advice, planted his flag on the old saying “better alone than in bad company,” and treated the sky as his personal playground. From a dream house overlooking the sea to flights so close to the heavens, life felt limitless… until he looks around and realizes there is no one left to share the view.

The song turns that moment of awakening into a warm yet bittersweet greeting to loneliness itself. By repeating “Olá, solidão,” the singer admits that stubborn independence, without balance, can land us in an empty space. Os Quatro e Meia wrap this reflection in bright folk-pop energy, reminding us that true freedom also means knowing when to touch down, listen, and let others in.
