Alexandria Lyrics in English Tiago Iorc

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alexandria by Tiago Iorc from Portuguese to English.
I don't take away the reason
From those who have no reason
Don't put your hand in the fire because it's summer
I don't give reason
To those who lose reason
Pay attention, then
Go look for
What fell from your hand
Redo the path alone
Looking at the ground
Too many people
With too much time
Talking too much
Too loudly
Let's go back for a little peace
Here are people
I didn't see a solution
In the hand of the opposite direction
Playing with fire for attention
I lost my reason
With those who gave me reason
Pay attention, then
Go look for
What fell from your hand
Redo the path alone
Looking at the ground
Too many people
With too much time
Talking too much
Too loudly
Let's go back for a little peace
Too many people
With too much time
Talking too much
Too loudly
Let's go back for a little peace
We burn every day
A thousand libraries of Alexandria
We insist before we feared
No longer know what we knew
Too many people
With too much time
Talking too much
Too many people
With too much time
Talking too much
Too loudly
Let's go back for a little peace
Too many people
With too much time
Talking too much
Too loudly
Let's go back for a little peace
Here are people

SONG MEANING

Tiago Iorc’s “Alexandria” is a reflective anthem about the noise of modern life. The singer watches crowds of people with “time demais” (too much time) talking “alto demais” (too loudly) and warns that, in the heat of so many voices, we all risk getting burned. His advice is playful yet serious: if you drop something precious, retrace your steps and look down, not up at the chaos around you. The repeated call to “presta atenção” (pay attention) invites us to pause, tune out the chatter and rediscover what really matters.

The title and chorus compare our daily routine to the legendary Library of Alexandria—an immense storehouse of knowledge lost to flames. Every day, says Iorc, we “burn” countless libraries of our own: memories, ideas and bits of wisdom we once feared to lose but now casually discard. The song’s groove feels light yet its message is weighty: we overflow with information, yet we forget what we already knew. “Alexandria” ultimately urges listeners to step away from the clamor, reclaim lost insights and chase that elusive “pouco de paz” (little bit of peace).
