Certeza Lyrics in English Mariana Nolasco

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Certeza by Mariana Nolasco from Portuguese to English.
When I saw you
I was sure
Sure it was you
Who brought me all the peace
Who always thought I was capable
So many people
Who don't know where they're going
We get lost every day
Without knowing how to look back
So many people
Who just wants to live in peace
But the world's in chaos
We don't even care anymore
Nonsense, little craziness
That always stop the heart
From discovering, believing
And cling to the immensity
That is living
Living
Living
Living
When I saw you
I was sure
Sure it was you
Who brought me all the peace
Who always thought I was capable
In a moment
I was able to remember
Love surely exists
I just needed to give in
Nonsense, little craziness
That always stop the heart
From discovering, believing
And cling to the immensity
That is living
Living
Living
Living
Sure, sure
Sure it was you
Sure, sure
That it was you
That it was you
Did you like these lyrics?
SONG MEANING

From the very first line, "Certeza" feels like a warm breeze of optimism. Mariana Nolasco sings about the magical moment when two people lock eyes and everything suddenly makes sense. That instant gives the narrator a crystal-clear certeza (certainty) that they have found the person who brings peace, confidence, and a reason to believe in love again. The gentle melody mirrors this calm assurance, wrapping the listener in the same serenity the singer feels.

Look a little closer and the song becomes a quiet manifesto for choosing love over chaos. Mariana contrasts a world where “tanta gente… não sabe pra onde vai” (so many people do not know where they are going) with the simple, powerful decision to open one’s heart. Minor “besteiras” and daily “loucuras pequenas” often block us from happiness, but the chorus insists that real life begins when we dare to trust, to surrender, and to truly viver (live). In just a few heartfelt verses, “Certeza” reminds learners that certainty is not about having all the answers, but about recognizing the right feeling and holding on tight.
