Melhor De Mim Lyrics in English Mariza

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Melhor De Mim by Mariza from Portuguese to English.
Today, the seed that sleeps in the earth
And hides in the darkness that surrounds it
Tomorrow a flower will be born
Even if the hope for light is scarce
The rain that soaks and moves on
Will bring love in a single drop
I'm also waiting for the light
I let myself stay here where the shadow seduces
I'm also waiting for myself
Something tells me the storm will pass
You need to lose
To then win
And even without seeing, believe!
Life goes on and doesn't wait for us
Every step we take ahead
Walking without fear of messing up
I believe the night will always turn to day
And the shine the sun radiates will always light me
I break the chains in this lament of mine
If I'm reborn every moment, my fate in life is greater
I'm also going in search of the light
I leave this place where the shadow seduces
I'm also waiting for myself
Something tells me the storm will pass
You need to lose to then win
And even without seeing, believe!
Life goes on and doesn't wait for us
Every step we take ahead
Walking without fear of messing up
I believe the night
Will always turn to day
And the shine the sun radiates will always light us
I know the best of me is yet to come
I know the best of me is about to arrive
I know the best of me is yet to come

SONG MEANING

Picture a seed curled up in the dark earth: it cannot see the sun, yet it somehow knows light will arrive. Mariza’s “Melhor De Mim” turns this simple image into a whole philosophy of resilience. Each verse compares our own struggles to that waiting seed: even when hope feels scarce and shadows seem inviting, a single drop of rain can carry love, and the next sunrise can spark a brand-new bloom. The song reminds us that life moves forward without waiting for anyone, so every step we dare to take is already a victory.

Mariza then shifts from nature to personal awakening, breaking imaginary chains and walking toward the dawn. Storms will pass, losses will teach, and belief often comes long before proof. The repeated line “Sei que o melhor de mim está para chegar” (“I know the best of me is yet to come”) is both a promise and a pep-talk, inviting listeners to trust that their brightest, most authentic selves are still on the horizon. It is an anthem of hope, self-renewal, and fearless progress—perfect for days when you need a melodic nudge to keep moving toward your own light.
