Até Que Durou Lyrics in English Péricles

Até Que Durou literally means While It Lasted, and that is exactly the bittersweet mood Péricles sings about. In this smooth pagode track, the narrator looks back on a relationship where he bent over backwards to please his partner. He tried to be “um cara perfeito,” ignored problems, and even planned their future together, only to realize he was never truly valued. The repeated line “Só eu senti amor” (Only I felt love) drives home the painful discovery that the romance was one-sided from start to finish.

Instead of anger, Péricles serves a dose of honest resignation mixed with self-reflection. He wonders why his partner “perdeu tanto tempo aqui,” but ultimately decides to disappear and protect what is left of his dignity. The song becomes a relatable anthem for anyone who has invested heart and soul into a relationship that did not return the same energy. Expect soaring vocals, gentle percussion, and a lyrical reminder that love should be mutual—otherwise it is better to let it stay in the past, just like the title suggests.
