Minha Lágrima Salta Lyrics in English Paulinho Moska

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Minha Lágrima Salta by Paulinho Moska from Portuguese to English.
Fim
End
E para se esquecer de mim, alguém
And to forget me, someone
Ocupará meu lugar
Will take my place
E aqui
And here
Na velha dor de estar sozinho sem ninguém
In the old pain of being alone without anyone
Será onde me encontrar
Is where I'll find myself
Afinal, o que aconteceu?
After all, what happened?
Ou, enfim, quem foi que se perdeu?
Or, finally, who got lost?
Deixando o som de toda nossa vida
Leaving the sound of all our life
Silenciar
To fall silent
Porque um vazio foi se construindo em nós
Because a void was building in us
Ficou distante pra escutar alguma voz
It became distant to hear any voice
E fomos desaparecendo sem ninguém desconfiar
And we were disappearing without anyone suspecting
Que era o fim
That it was the end
Quem foi que disse o primeiro sim?
Who was it that said the first yes?
Às vezes penso em voltar
Sometimes I think about coming back
Mas pra quem?
But for whom?
Quem passar por mim na rua não vai perceber
Whoever passes me on the street won't notice
Nem conseguir reparar
Nor be able to realize
Que se as palavras nos meus olhos são de adeus
That if the words in my eyes are goodbye
Meus pensamentos só querem pensar nos seus
My thoughts only want to think of yours
E a cada instante, a cada luz, cada manhã
And every moment, every light, every morning
Eu sinto sua falta
I miss you
Aqui no espelho eu me vejo sem você
Here in the mirror I see myself without you
Escuto a música que acabo de fazer
I listen to the music I just made
E de uma nuvem que começa a chover
And from a cloud that starts to rain
Minha lágrima salta
My tear jumps
Minha lágrima salta
My tear jumps
É, minha lágrima salta
Yes, my tear jumps
Minha lágrima salta
My tear jumps
Minha lágrima salta
My tear jumps

saltajumps / leaps

Salta means "jumps" or "leaps." While it's a common verb, its use here is particularly striking and poetic.

In the song, Paulinho Moska sings, "Minha lágrima salta" (My tear jumps/leaps). Instead of simply saying a tear falls or rolls, the word salta evokes a sudden, forceful, and almost involuntary release of emotion, making the image of the tear much more vivid and impactful. It captures the intensity of his sadness.
