A Dança Lyrics in English Tiago Nacarato

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Dança by Tiago Nacarato from Portuguese to English.
One, two, three
One, two, three
From a dance something was born
That I don't know how to explain
I feel, I just feel
And there's little more to say
My heart inside my chest
Now beats hard
I shout, I just shout
Life's good to live
And there's someone in the world who makes me smile
Like she makes me
And there's someone in life who makes me say
Even if the national team
Misses a penalty at crunch time
Life's good to go on
I feel that the best in life
Is being able to enjoy it
Minute after minute
Back and forth in the same place
With my hand on her hip
Spinning without stepping on feet
Beautiful, this is so beautiful
That I sing without going off-key
That there's someone in the world who makes me smile
Like she makes me
And there's someone in life who makes me say
Even if the TV
Shows Benfica five-time champion
Life's good to go on
Even if the TV
Says there's no summer this year
Life's good to go on
And there's someone in the world who makes me smile
Like she makes me
And there's someone in life who makes me say
Even if one day the Tax Office
Remembers my savings
Life's good to go on
Even if the stock runs out
Of the much-welcomed Super Bock
Life's good
Life's so good
Life's really good to live

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Imagine stepping onto a dance floor, counting "um, dois, três" as the room starts spinning and, suddenly, your heart is spinning too. A Dança captures that electric instant when a simple waltz sparks an indescribable feeling — love, euphoria, sheer vitality — that makes the singer want to shout to the world that "a vida é boa de se viver". The lyrics paint the scene of two bodies swaying in perfect sync, hands on hips, feet miraculously un-stepped on, while every beat pumps new life into the narrator’s chest.

Yet the real charm of the song lies in its playful optimism. No matter what life throws at him — a missed penalty in the big match, Benfica hogging every championship, a gloomy weather report, a surprise tax bill, or even a tragic shortage of Super Bock — the refrain never changes: "A vida é boa de se levar". Tiago Nacarato reminds us that when you’re dancing with someone who makes you smile, each minute is worth savoring and no setback is big enough to dim the joy. It’s a lyrical celebration of seizing the moment, laughing off life’s glitches, and letting the rhythm carry you someplace wonderfully light.
