Home / Lyrics Translation / Adriana Calcanhotto / Um Dia Desses

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Um Dia Desses by Adriana Calcanhotto from Portuguese to English.

From getting so lost, roaming sleepless

Through this night with no destination

Through this dark night when I abandon

Some dreams from my boyhood days

From no longer being able to feel longing

For everything I once had and already lost

Little lady, I've decided right now

To leave and go far away from here

One of these days I'll marry you

You'll see, oh, oh, you'll see

One of these mornings, with priest and pomp

You'll see how I'll marry you

My poor heart isn't worth anything

It's wandering lost, there's no solution

But if you want to be my girlfriend

Let's try, it costs nothing

It might even work, oh, oh

And if it doesn't I'll grab a plane

I'll go to Shanghai

And I'll never come back to see you

One of these days I'll marry you

You'll see, oh, oh, you'll see

One of these mornings, with priest and pomp

You'll see how I'll marry you

One of these days I'll marry you

You'll see, you'll see

One of these mornings, with priest and pomp

You'll see how I'll marry you

SONG MEANING

“Um Dia Desses” paints a late-night stroll through the singer’s tangled feelings: sleepless wandering, childhood dreams left in the dark, and that ever-Brazilian mix of nostalgia and longing called saudade. While he admits his heart “não vale nada,” the narrator keeps one bright idea flickering—an impulsive promise to sweep his beloved down the aisle.

Between tender confessions and playful bravado, he balances two extremes. On one side: a grand wedding “com padre e pompa” that he vows will happen any morning now. On the other: a dramatic getaway flight to Shanghai if love falls through. The result is a charming tug-of-war between hope and escape, where sincerity and humor dance together just like the softly swaying melody of Adriana Calcanhotto’s voice.
