Viagem Lyrics in English Tiago Bettencourt

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Viagem by Tiago Bettencourt from Portuguese to English.
Take this trip, sweetheart
May your free hands come back full
May your bare feet gain life
Let them ease in the relief of this road
Take this trip, sweetheart
Everything you lose grows wings
Angels that walk side by side
Voices that guide our words
Go, beyond
Follow life, follow time
Like a leaf in the current
Go, sweetheart
Go on, fight, burning fire
Tears, laughter
Keep moving forward
You'll come back someday too
Like all of us who'll go one day
Looking for lights we lack
Finding the steps where we walked
You have that courage, I know
To let go of the things you love most
To find the place where they wash
Pains that long to rest
Go beyond
Follow life, follow time
Like a leaf in the current
Go, sweetheart
Go on, fight, burning fire
Tears, laughter
Keep moving forward
Go beyond
You'll come back someday, I know
With your strong angels on your shoulder
Infinite love in each wing
With arms wide open toward home
Did you like these lyrics?
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.
