A Noite Lyrics in English Tiê

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Noite by Tiê from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Words aren't enough, can't understand
And this growing fear won't stop
It's a story that got complicated
I know exactly why
What's the weight of guilt
I carry in my arms
Verse 1
It bends my back and makes me tired
Time's cruelty made
Me drift away from you
And when night comes
And I can't sleep
My heart races and I'm alone here
I switch sides of the bed, I turn on the TV
Eye to eye in the mirror and the phone in my hand
Verse 2
For how much I wanted you, closeness was never enough
And that closeness wouldn't do
I got lost in what was real and in what I made up
I rewrote the memories, I let my hair grow
And I dedicate you a beautiful, honest story
Not even time's cruelty can pull me away from you
I told you so many secrets that were no longer just mine
Rhymes from an old diary that never belonged to me
Between unspoken words, so many words of love
This passion is old and time never passed
And when night comes
And I can't sleep
My heart races and I'm alone here
I switch sides of the bed, I turn on the TV
Eye to eye in the mirror and the phone in my hand
And when night comes
And I can't sleep
My heart races and I'm alone here
I switch sides of the bed, I turn on the TV
Eye to eye in the mirror and the phone in my hand
In my hand
In my hand

SONG MEANING

A Noite ("The Night") is Tiê’s late-night diary opened for all to read. Under the glow of insomnia she revisits a love that time, distance, and her own doubts tried to erase. The lyrics paint the familiar scene of tossing in bed, turning on the TV, and staring at the phone while memories race faster than her heartbeat. Tiê sings about the weight of guilt, blurred lines between fantasy and reality, and the ache of wanting someone so much that even together never felt close enough.

Yet, in the middle of this restless darkness, the song glimmers with resilience. She rewrites memories, lets her hair grow, and transforms pain into a “beautiful confessed story,” proving that true affection is stubborn — it survives secrets, silence, and the cruelty of time. "A Noite" is both a lullaby and an awakening, reminding us that even when we feel alone at night, the emotions we cradle are shared by hearts everywhere.
