Tomás Adrião’s “Perdido” feels like an intimate diary entry turned into a pop anthem. The Portuguese singer admits he is in a “pressa para ser feliz” (a hurry to be happy) because time slips away like “água nas mãos” (water in our hands). Rather than tip-toeing through life, he wants to plant real roots, live out loud, and sing his truth. People may whisper that he is “perdido” (lost) or looks a bit out of place, but to him that “lostness” is simply the price of freedom: an open chest, a crooked smile and a heart full of inspiration.
The song is a joyful rebellion against silence and conformity. Adrião reflects on past sadness, brushes off unwanted opinions, and refuses to keep hiding who he is meant to be. Each chorus flips the accusation “you’re lost” into a badge of honor, reminding us that feeling off-track often means we are finally steering our own course. “Perdido” invites listeners to stop waiting for permission, embrace the beautiful mess of becoming, and sing their own stories before time runs out.
