Leva-me De Mim Lyrics in English António Zambujo , Miguel Araújo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Leva-me De Mim by António Zambujo from Portuguese to English.
Take me with you
Take me today
Bold and light like I'm not
With you by the arm
Between bullets and shrapnel
As if I even knew where I'm going
Take me far away
Far from what I am
Take me with you
Doesn't matter where
I hide from all I was
With time on my side
Against everything, against the wind
As if I wanted to know where I'm going
Take me far away
Far from what I am
And while passing amid the wreckage
Or through the grand gate on shoulders
Already near the end
We lay down the law
I'll finally be
What I'll never be
What I never was
Take me with you
Take me from myself
Take me with you
It could be now
Chance will tell the exact hour
Beyond the setting sun
Or this side, it's all the same
As long as I'm safe from myself
Take me far away
Far from what I am
And while passing amid the wreckage
Or through the grand gate on shoulders
Already near the end
We lay down the law
I'll finally be
What I'll never be
What I never was
Take me with you
Take me from myself
Take me with you
Take me from myself
Take me with you
Ay ay

SONG MEANING

Leva-me De Mim is a poetic plea for escape. António Zambujo and Miguel Araújo sing from the point of view of someone who feels trapped inside his own skin and longs for a trusted partner to whisk him away. The narrator does not care about the destination; what matters is fleeing from the rubble of his past self, outrunning the wind and even time itself. By asking, “Leva-me de mim” (“Take me away from myself”), he dreams of finally becoming “what I never was,” free from old fears and limitations.

Behind the gentle melody you will hear urgency, humor, and bold imagery: walking “between bullets and shrapnel,” slipping “through the great door on shoulders,” or simply vanishing “beyond the setting sun.” These lines mix danger with optimism, creating a cinematic road trip where the only luggage is hope. In short, the song invites us to imagine that reinvention is possible if we just dare to grab a friend’s hand, leave the past in ruins, and step into the wide unknown with a lighter heart.
