Oração Lyrics in English WIU

Home / Lyrics Translation / WIU / Oração

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Oração by WIU from Portuguese to English.

It's like looking and seeing a bunch of dishes in the sink

It's like I see everything I want to have one day

Enduring gossip and family judgment

Even though I promised not to come back empty-handed

I forget the emotions, I throw them to the bottom of the trunk

I do the same with fake people, a piece of advice for you

Replacing feelings with headphones

And the rest I'll have to tell to go f*ck themselves

Insecurity knocks on my door every day

But I want money, so I don't let it in

I'm fighting with these internal demons

Who do everything because they want to stop me

I saw my mother cry, that hurt me

I saw few stay, I saw many run away

The evil man arrives, wanting to attack us

And, by the color of skin, I saw my friend fall

When the strong wind blows

Will they ever let the kids win?

Even if they hunt me, beat me, kill me

I swear I'll never stop saying

That whenever my eyes shine

Anyone who looks deep inside will be able to tell

And those who are for me, protect me from bullets and fire

I didn't make the rules of the game, I'm addicted to winning

The time you spend on my life is deducted from yours

No Rolex is more valuable than God's time

I wear Jordans, but every step of mine is based on faith

And those who walk in fear are synonymous with walking backwards

A million lies are not worth one truth

I have a thousand reasons, flaws, and vanity

I have a few friends, I don't care about quantity

For me, what matters is that it's real

This is not a sad song, I'm very grateful for what I have

But I know it can be better, that's why I try

Even the quietest step in a dreamer's life

For those who never believed, to become loud

Sleepless nights of pure work

Expensive development of a rare product

Where I succeed less than I fail

They gave me a vision of a result

Between rock and gravel

That by the end of the year, the pocket will be full

Hmm, make sure you don't delay me

Mom asked me to come home early

And the pain it causes me, I no longer feel anything

My best defense is to trust the sword

I've been on the street since before I wasn't

But suddenly my buddy calls

Asking where I came from, where I was

That things suddenly got complicated in the area

But everything I do is thinking

About those around me

Making this money circulate like dominoes

Catch a big fish, hmm, then an even bigger one

And so on, for a better day

For me to feel good, wipe my sweat

This story, I know, you know by heart

About coming back stronger, heating up the atmosphere

When the strong wind blows

Will they ever let the kids win?

Even if they hunt me, beat me, kill me

I swear I'll never stop saying

That whenever my eyes shine

Anyone who looks deep inside will be able to tell

And those who are for me, protect me from bullets and fire

I didn't make the rules of the game, I'm addicted to winning

SONG MEANING

Oração feels like a heartfelt prayer set to a trap beat. WIU paints daily life with vivid images - dirty dishes in the sink, gossiping relatives, late-night phone calls from the streets - to show how poverty, racism, and inner demons keep knocking at his door. Instead of letting fear in, he slips on headphones, sharpens his focus, and lets faith guide each step “based on Jordan shoes.” The song balances gratitude for what he already has with a fierce hunger for more, proving that spiritual conviction and material ambition can walk side by side.

Throughout the track, WIU reminds listeners that every second wasted judging someone else is “deducted from your own time,” and no luxury watch beats God’s timing. He fights for his family, honors real friends over large circles, and promises to keep shouting the truth even if haters “hunt, beat, or kill” him. The chorus asks whether society will ever let the kids from the hood win, then answers with unbreakable confidence: protected by faith and forged by relentless work, he is “addicted to winning.” The result is an anthem of resilience that turns personal struggle into collective motivation.
