130 Anos Lyrics in English Agridoce

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 130 Anos by Agridoce from Portuguese to English.
It's costly to become a poor imitation of yourself
To the point you don't even recognize yourself anymore
Today I'm a hundred and thirty years old
That wasn't in my plans, you know disorder is tenacious
So many ties, so many restraints, the controls, pretensions
Nothing matters if the wind doesn't blow
That wind beneath my wings
I don't control anything anymore
I know it's high, but I'm gonna jump
What will everybody say
And where will they end up?
Not even eyes can see
What will everybody say
And where will they end up?
Not even eyes can see
Decided, I'm not going back home
Home, the body and all the words
That willpower can think up
The wind beneath my wings carries on
I don't control anything anymore
I know it's high, but I'm gonna jump
What will everybody say
And where will they end up?
Not even eyes can see
What will everybody say
And where will they end up?
Not even eyes can see
Did you like these lyrics?
SONG MEANING

130 Anos feels like a dramatic birthday party thrown by the soul itself. The singer looks in the mirror and sees a 130-year-old version of herself, worn out by expectations, obligations, and the endless urge to stay in control. She confesses that becoming a pale copy of who she once was is the real cost of conforming. All the “ties, ropes, controls, pretensions” weigh her down, and none of them matter if the wind—that unpredictable force of life and inspiration—refuses to blow.

When the breeze finally arrives, she makes a wild promise: I know it’s high, but I’m going to jump. The song turns into a fearless dive into self-renewal. She drops the need to “go back home,” abandons every safe word and familiar comfort, and lets the wind carry her wherever it pleases. What others say or where they end up is invisible to her eyes; what counts is the liberating act of surrender. In short, “130 Anos” is an anthem for anyone who feels ancient inside but is ready to leap, trust the wind, and rediscover the thrill of living on their own terms.
