Alvorada Lyrics in English Cristina Branco

Home / Lyrics Translation / Cristina Branco / Alvorada

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alvorada by Cristina Branco from Portuguese to English.

My love so transparent

My flipside of madness

You have the gift to look ahead

Beyond misfortune

I anchored in the voice that sings

That deep gaze of yours

Every knot in this throat

Planted flowers around the world

I wanted to stay a bit longer

But dawn came

I wish it were forever early morning

And we'd do everything all over again

Every mark on my body

I see it doesn’t weigh on you

Each day is a new day

Every kiss a prayer

Dawn, burning love

It felt good to watch your sleep

We've already forgotten so many people

It's not even autumn yet

I wanted to stay a bit longer

But dawn came

I wish it were forever early morning

And we'd do everything all over again

Love changes when dawn comes

But it's soon relearned

When it's the small hours

And we'd do everything all over again

SONG MEANING

Alvorada (Portuguese for dawn) invites us into an intimate night where two lovers forget the outside world and speak only the language of whispered songs and quiet breaths. Cristina Branco paints the darkness as a safe harbor: the lover’s voice becomes an anchor, each kiss is a prayer, and every heartbeat plants metaphorical flowers across the globe. The night feels limitless, transparent, almost magical.

Yet the first light inevitably appears. Dawn brings change, turning passion into reflection and forcing the couple to separate, at least for now. Still, the song is filled with hope. Love may feel different in daylight, but as soon as midnight returns, the cycle of discovery starts again. “Alvorada” reminds us that endings are also beginnings; every sunrise offers a fresh chance to love, learn, and do it all over again.
