Aos Poucos Lyrics in English Supercombo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Aos Poucos by Supercombo from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
I think I went too far
Unloaded and got lost
It's so hard to find your way
When the maps are against you
I'm unable to finish what I started
I'm unable to start what I didn't finish
You know, it's slow
One step at a time
I'll do the minimum
And gradually I'll be back
You know, it's slow
One step at a time
I'll do the minimum
And gradually relearn
Verse 2
Sometimes we take a while
To realize, to take care of ourselves
Verse 2
And almost give up
And leave everything to the vultures
I'm unable to finish what I started
I'm unable to start what I didn't finish
You know, it's slow
One step at a time
I'll do the minimum
And gradually I'll be back
You know, it's slow
One step at a time
Just do the minimum
And gradually you'll come back
Repeat to me
I'll be back
When I want
Repeat to me
I'll be back
When I want
You know, it's slow
One step at a time
It's okay to recompose
And gradually you'll come back
You'll come back

SONG MEANING

Feeling stuck? Aos Poucos captures that very human moment when your plans spin out of control and you suddenly realize you have wandered “too far.” Supercombo’s lyrics paint a vivid map of confusion: projects half-finished, motivation drifting, and self-doubt closing in. Yet instead of shouting a grand, heroic comeback, the song whispers a realistic remedy: slow down, breathe, take “one step at a time.” By promising to “do the minimum” and gradually return to form, the narrator shows that small, consistent efforts can outshine dramatic gestures.

Under its punchy Brazilian rock groove, the track becomes an anthem for gentle self-reconstruction. It reminds us that setbacks are normal, that relearning how to care for ourselves is a process, and that we are free to hit the reset button whenever we choose. Repeat after the chorus: “Eu volto a ser quando eu quiser” - “I’ll be myself again when I want to.” That mantra turns the song into both a confession and a motivator, perfect for anyone piecing life back together, little by little.
