Verão Lyrics in English The Gift

Home / Lyrics Translation / The Gift / Verão

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Verão by The Gift from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

A summer

Just a simple summer

Poems, short prose that I kept

Inside, the peace, the love

Outside, a scream, the pain

Memories that I didn't always remember

Tomorrow will be much better

The chest throbs in a single tremor

I use and cross some confusion

I test my luck

I try, I invent the love that is only mine

Only yours, only us

So alone

Verse 2

A summer

Just a simple summer

Poems, short prose that I kept

I didn't do it because I didn't want to

I spoke without understanding

I swing and thus rest a little from the pain

Which, being old

Already surrounds me

Tomorrow will be much better

The chest throbs in a single tremor

I use and cross some confusion

I test my luck

I try, I invent love

Tomorrow will be much better

The chest throbs in a single tremor

I use and cross some confusion

I test my luck

I try, I invent the love that is only mine

Only yours, only us

So alone

Tomorrow will be much better

The chest throbs in a single tremor

I use and cross some confusion

I test my luck

I try, I invent the love that is only mine

I use and cross some confusion

I test my luck

I try, I invent the love that is only mine

SONG MEANING

"Verão" invites us into a sun-soaked diary where the narrator captures a single, unforgettable summer. Short poems and fleeting prose are tucked away like seashells in a pocket, signalling moments of inner peace while the outside world crackles with shouts and pain. The repeated line "Amanhã será bem melhor" (Tomorrow will be much better) acts as a hopeful chorus, reminding us that even when memories sting, the promise of a brighter day keeps the heart beating in one steady tremor.

Beneath the warm imagery lies a story of self-discovery. The singer freely admits to feeling lost, yet she keeps “testing her luck” and inventing a love that belongs only to “me, you, us – so alone”. It is a tender confession that real intimacy often feels both shared and solitary. By the final refrain, the song becomes a gentle anthem for anyone who has ever tried to shape their own love and future, trusting that summer’s simple magic can outshine lingering shadows.
