Viagem Lyrics in English Tiago Bettencourt

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Viagem by Tiago Bettencourt from Portuguese to English.
Make this journey, my love
May your hands come full
May your bare feet gain lives
Calm down in the relief of this road
Make this journey, my love
Everything that is lost gains wings
Angels walking side by side
Voices guiding us with words
Go beyond
Follow life, follow time
Like a leaf in the current
Go, my love
Follow, fight, burning fire
Crying, laughing
Keep moving forward
You will return one day too
Like all of us who one day go
Seeking lights that we lack
Finding the steps where we walked
You have that courage, I know
To let go of the most beloved things
Discover the place where pains are washed
Pains that want to rest
Go beyond
Follow life, follow time
Like a leaf in the current
Go, my love
Follow, fight, burning fire
Crying, laughing
Keep moving forward
Go beyond
You will return one day, I know
With your strong angels by your side
Infinite love in each wing
With open arms towards home

SONG MEANING

“Viagem” is an upbeat invitation to pack light, kick off your shoes, and let life carry you forward. Tiago Bettencourt sings to someone he loves, urging them to venture out into the world so their empty hands can return full, and their bare feet can learn new roads. Every loss, he promises, sprouts wings; every step is shadowed by friendly “angels” – voices of intuition that whisper the right words at the right time. The song is sprinkled with vivid images of leaves drifting in a river current, fire blazing in the heart, and laughter and tears sharing the same seat on the journey.

Beneath its folk-rock groove, “Viagem” delivers a feel-good life lesson: embrace change, fight hard, feel everything, then come home wiser and overflowing with “infinite love.” Bettencourt reminds us that courage is not the absence of fear but the decision to loosen our grip on what we adore, trusting that the road will wash pain clean and guide us back to familiar arms. It is a cycle of leaving, learning, and loving bigger than before – and the song turns that cycle into an anthem for every traveler at heart.
