Nada De Bom Acontece De Madrugada Lyrics in English Scatolove

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nada De Bom Acontece De Madrugada by Scatolove from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Let me sleep
Hide before insomnia
comes to greet you
Verse 1
hands you a card
seeing a big fish
Verse 1
and then takes you to dinner
Prick my finger, put me to sleep
so I don't remember what happens
a century before waking up
Nothing good happens after midnight
If I see a shadow, you know
Mirror, you know
Wind, you know
I'm about to wake up
Spirit, you know
Gas with wasabi
If the door opens
I'm about to wake up
Verse 2
If insomnia shows up, wants to haunt you
don't go down to the living room
Count the sheep, hug the mattress
Cover up till you black out
Flee, run, go down and up
Move now, don't delay
This is the last sign
Nothing good happens
If I see a shadow, you know
Mirror, you know
Wind, you know
I don't wanna wake up
Spirit, you know
Gas with wasabi
If the door opens
I don't wanna wake up
Prick my finger, knock me out
I don't wanna remember what happens
Prick my finger, knock me out
To kiss me, but with gum
Prick my finger, knock me out
I don't wanna remember what happens
If I see a shadow, you know
Mirror, you know
Shadow, you know
I don't wanna wake up
Spirit, you know
Gas with wasabi
If the door opens
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up

SONG MEANING

“Nada De Bom Acontece De Madrugada” is Scatolove’s quirky lullaby for anyone who has stared at the ceiling at 3 a.m. and felt their mind turn into a haunted house. Across a swirl of night-time images – shadows that creep, mirrors that watch, spirits that lurk, even a bizarre “gas with wasabi” – the singer begs for sleep as if it were a superhero. She pricks her finger, stuffs gum in a kiss, hides under the covers, and repeats the mantra “Nada de bom acontece” to convince herself that the only safe plan is to stay unconscious until sunrise. The result is a playful mix of horror-movie suspense and cartoon humor, capturing that delirious hour when everything feels exaggerated and nothing makes sense.

Behind the surreal scenes lies a relatable message: when insomnia invites you to dinner with your worst anxieties, refuse the RSVP and dive back into your pillow fort. Scatolove turns late-night paranoia into a catchy warning, reminding us that the mind can be its own fun-house mirror after midnight, so you might as well count your sheep, clutch the mattress, and wait for dawn to bring reality back into focus.
