Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amianto by Supercombo from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

Girl

Get off the balcony

Verse 1

You're too young to play

with dying

Verse 1

Tell me what's up

What did life do

this time?

Come, get down

Let me take you for a coffee

To talk

Listen to you

And try to convince you

That life is like a mother

who cooks dinner

and makes the kids eat

the veggies

since she knows it's good

And death is like a father

who hits the mother

and robs the kids of the pleasure

of playing

as if there were no tomorrow

Girl

Don't look down

It's way too high

for you to jump

I'll listen to you

And try to convince you

We're wired to fall

That life is like a mother

who cooks dinner

and makes the kids eat

the veggies

since she knows it's good

And death is like a father

who hits the mother

and robs the kids of the pleasure

of playing

as if there were no tomorrow

but that's fine

we're not always at our best

Man, nobody's made of iron

We're wired to fall

SONG MEANING

Imagine standing on a city balcony and hearing someone softly call out: “Moça, sai da sacada...” That is how Supercombo introduces Amianto, turning a tense, life-or-death moment into an urgent yet tender invitation to hope. The narrator spots a young woman about to jump and offers her something simple—a coffee, a conversation, an attentive ear—to remind her that pain, confusion, and setbacks are part of being human.

Behind this dialogue lies a vivid metaphor. Life is a caring mother who makes dinner and insists we eat our vegetables because she knows they help us grow. Death is a violent father who storms in, hurts the mother, and steals the children away from tomorrow’s playtime. The band’s message is clear: we may be “programmed to fall,” and nobody is made of iron, but choosing life means embracing its bittersweet mix and keeping the door open for new joys. In the end, the song becomes an anthem of empathy and mental-health awareness, encouraging us to reach out, talk, and lift one another back up.
