Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tô Voltando by Ana Castela from Portuguese to English.

I'll be far away

When you get this letter

And I'd rather miss you than live this farce

Something I'm not

It's not the end, tomorrow or later

One night is normal

Makes both of us miss each other

Yeah, too bad that

Now, now my longing's different

I'm going back to the rodeos

To country life

In the city, the chatter is she's from the countryside

And didn't get used to it

I'm going back to the rodeos

To country life

In the city, the chatter is she's from the countryside

And didn't get used to it

It's not the end, tomorrow or later

One night is normal

Makes both of us miss each other

Yeah, too bad that

Now, now my longing's different

I'm going back to the rodeos

To country life

In the city, the chatter is she's from the countryside

And didn't get used to it

I'm going back to the rodeos

To country life

In the city, the chatter is she's from the countryside

And didn't get used to it

I'll be far away

When you get this letter

SONG MEANING

In “Tô Voltando,” Ana Castela pens a heartfelt goodbye letter that doubles as a declaration of self-rediscovery: she chooses to trade the city’s gossip and a relationship built on pretense for the dust, freedom, and authenticity of the rodeios back home. While she admits that saudade—that uniquely Brazilian blend of longing and nostalgia—will strike both lovers after a single night apart, she would rather miss someone honestly than stay and live a lie. The chorus repeats her triumphant decision to return to the roça (countryside), turning the song into an anthem for anyone who feels out of place in an urban maze and craves the open skies of their roots. Castela’s pop-infused storytelling celebrates courage, identity, and the bittersweet joy of choosing the life that truly fits, even when it means stepping away from love.
