Liberdade Lyrics in English Priscilla Alcantara

Home / Lyrics Translation / Priscilla Alcantara / Liberdade

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Liberdade by Priscilla Alcantara from Portuguese to English.

It doesn't seem right for someone

Who's got wings to be put

Inside a box, without seeing

The sunlight shine

To me, it doesn't make sense for someone

With wings not to have the sky

Whole to be able to fly

If I've got wings, I know the sky's my place

I just wanted to fly, I just wanted to fly

At last, freedom heard me

And opened that box where I was

I tried to fly, but my wings

Didn't work anymore

I spent so much time there

So much time that I unlearned

What I loved doing most

Which was flying with you

Freedom pulled me aside and said

Don't let anything tell you who you are

You're what you see in me

I learned to fly, I learned to fly

You taught me to fly, you taught me to fly

I learned to fly when I saw you in me

I learned to fly, I learned to fly

When I saw you in me, when I saw you in me

Freedom pulled me aside and said

Don't let anything tell you who you are

You're what you see in me

SONG MEANING

"Liberdade" invites us into the mind of someone who was born to soar but got trapped in a box, far from the sunlight. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a winged soul wondering why it was ever told to shrink itself. When freedom finally cracks open the lid, the singer discovers her wings have grown rusty. The moment is heartbreaking and relatable: how many dreams have we tucked away so long that we almost forget how to chase them?

Yet Priscilla Alcantara does not leave us grounded for long. Freedom gently whispers a life-changing lesson: "Do not let anything tell you who you are; you are what you see in me." With that encouragement, the singer relearns to fly, this time even higher because she now understands her true identity. The song is a joyful anthem about rediscovering your purpose, shaking off labels, and trusting the voice that calls you to the open sky. Let it remind you that no matter how long you have been boxed in, your wings still remember the way back to the clouds.
