Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Chão De Areia by Paula Fernandes from Portuguese to English.
Eu que muito ganhei
I who gained a lot
E tanto perdi
And lost so much
Desde a infância
Since childhood
E na dor aprendi
And in pain I learned
Que o tom ruim
That the bad times
Tem cor de esperança
Have the color of hope
Há sonhos que repousam sobre um chão de areia
There are dreams that rest on a sandy ground
E há outros que por fim
And there are others that finally
Navegam seu convés
Navigate their deck
Num mar de estrelas!
In a sea of stars!
Corri (corri), fugi (fugi), me vi (me vi)
I ran (ran), I fled (fled), I saw myself (saw myself)
Pular pela janela
Jumping out the window
Parei (parei), me olhei (me olhei), senti (senti)
I stopped (stopped), I looked at myself (looked at myself), I felt (felt)
Que a vida vale a pena
That life is worth it
Nessa briga contra tudo quem venceu foi ela
In this fight against everything, she was the one who won
Há sonhos que repousam sobre um chão de areia
There are dreams that rest on a sandy ground
E há outros que por fim
And there are others that finally
Navegam seu convés
Navigate their deck
Num mar de estrelas!
In a sea of stars!
Corri (corri), fugi (fugi), me vi (me vi)
I ran (ran), I fled (fled), I saw myself (saw myself)
Pular pela janela
Jumping out the window
Parei (parei), me olhei (me olhei), senti (senti)
I stopped (stopped), I looked at myself (looked at myself), I felt (felt)
Que a vida vale a pena
That life is worth it
Nessa briga contra tudo quem venceu foi ela
In this fight against everything, she was the one who won
Ouvi a vida me chamar
I heard life call me
Corri (corri), fugi (fugi), me vi (me vi)
I ran (ran), I fled (fled), I saw myself (saw myself)
Pular pela janela
Jumping out the window
Parei (parei), me olhei (me olhei), senti (senti)
