Compromisso Lyrics in English Nina Fernandes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Compromisso by Nina Fernandes from Portuguese to English.
It's a familiar story
That locks me, that holds me
It repeats like fate
Keeps me from moving forward
From giving myself
Completely
Every time I fall in love
I suddenly shut down
I get scared and hide
But now it's different
I won't mess it up
Not even vaguely
I'll try
To love once more
It can't be that hard
I'll try to change
You'll see
It shouldn't be like that
Impossible
The more I know you
The more I cling to our start
I hide my flaws
Forgetting your vices
I'll forgive
Secretly
It's hard to name it
Maybe it's sabotage
I might be crazy
Serial killer of myself
Spinning
Eternally
I'll try
To love once more
It can't be that hard
I'll try to change
You'll see
It shouldn't be like that
Impossible
I'll try
To love once more
It can't be that hard
I'll try to change
You'll see
It shouldn't be like that
Impossible

SONG MEANING

Compromisso captures that nerve-wracking moment when the heart wants to leap forward but the mind hits the brake. Nina Fernandes sings about a familiar loop: every time she falls in love, fear locks her up, old habits replay, and she turns into what she jokingly calls a “serial killer” of her own feelings. The verses list the tricks she uses to protect herself—hiding flaws, overlooking her partner’s vices, spinning in circles of self-sabotage—yet the chorus bursts with determination: “Eu vou tentar amar mais uma vez.” She refuses to believe love is impossible and promises to change, forgive, and give her emotions a second chance.

The song is both a confession and a pep talk. It shows how scary commitment can feel, especially when past disappointments keep echoing, but it also glows with optimism. By the end, Nina turns fear into fuel, inviting listeners to break their own cycles, bet on vulnerability, and discover that loving again may be risky, but it is beautifully within reach.
