Estradas No Céu Lyrics in English Valas , Raquel Tavares

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Estradas No Céu by Valas from Portuguese to English.
I see roads in the sky
That always lead me to you
I'm yours and you are mine
Place where I am happy
I grew up in the dawn, nights that never ended
And only when the sun rose did the kid fall asleep
And I saw without saying anything who was just looking for
A bitter loneliness or trying to escape from here
There are always those who feel more
Who stay feel who go
Stop the boat at another dock
What's the use of what I imagine
Having the house painted the color of your dress
And a kiss on wrinkled skin, having raised 2 children
I heard, longing, take me with you
Although I have in me the memories of a life
And freedom, I am the master of destiny
I want to dedicate to you the victories I achieve
It's the story that remains when the show ends
I will continue the flight, suspended in gravity
It cannot be past because that's where I'm going
I promised to return one day, where I truly belong
I see roads in the sky
That always lead me to you
I'm yours and you are mine
Place where I am happy
You are, you are
Where I find myself
I know, I know
That I only belong to you
You are, you are
Where I find myself
I know, I know
That I only belong to you
As if time stood still, silence in the city
I didn't want to leave, I only won on the other side
I am still a portrait, hiding your embrace
I know what you once were, I understand the outcome
I am made in your image and a product of your class
Courage never lacked and I feel blessed
I'm trying to seize every opportunity
And to know how to take advantage as you taught me
I heard, longing, I take you with me
Those who know me say I'm proud of it
My commitment is to keep the candle lit
And that all uncertainty disappears in its brightness
It's the story that remains when the show ends
I will continue the flight, suspended in gravity
It cannot be past because that's where I'm going
I promised to return one day, where I truly belong
I see roads in the sky
That always lead me to you
I'm yours and you are mine
Place where I am happy
You are, you are
Where I find myself
I know, I know
That I only belong to you
You are, you are
Where I find myself
I know, I know
That I only belong to you

SONG MEANING

Imagine looking up and spotting glowing highways in the clouds, each one guiding you back to the place – or the person – that feels like home. “Estradas No Céu” (Roads in the Sky) turns that dreamy image into a heartfelt promise. Valas raps about leaving in search of new horizons, celebrating victories, and chasing freedom, while Raquel Tavares answers with a soulful chorus that repeats the mantra: “Eu vejo estradas no céu que me levam sempre a ti” (I see roads in the sky that always lead me to you). The song mixes hip-hop flow with a fado-tinged hook, marrying excitement for the future with the unmistakable Portuguese sense of saudade – a nostalgic longing for the people and places that shaped us.

Beneath the catchy melody lies a tender message: no matter how far we travel or how successful we become, our roots and our loved ones are the true destination. The lyrics paint scenes of late-night hustles, childhood memories, and the determination to honor one’s origins. In the sky-road metaphor, every triumph is a pit-stop, every setback a detour, yet the map always loops back to that special “lugar onde sou feliz” (place where I am happy). It is an uplifting reminder that belonging is both a compass and a reward, making the song perfect for learners who want to feel the rhythm of Portuguese rap while exploring themes of identity, nostalgia, and love.
