Below, I translated the lyrics of the song O Sol E A Lua by Pequeno Cidadão from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

The sun asked the moon to marry him

He said he'd loved her for a long time

Since the days of dinosaurs, pterodactyls, tyrannosaurs

When there wasn't even the bicycle, the trike, or the motorcycle

Verse 2

But the moon thought that was so weird

A hot ball that doesn't even bathe

Just imagine, have some mercy

Because my heart belongs to nobody

Only to the inspirations of every couple

From the great poets to the most normal

Get lost, boy!

Chorus 1

The sun asked the moon to marry him

And the moon said

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Give me some time

The sun asked the moon to marry him

And the moon said

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Give me some time

And 24 hours later the sun rose, the moon set and

Chorus 1

The sun asked the moon to marry him

And the moon said

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Give me some time

The sun froze his heart

Postchorus 1

But the star king

With all his planets

Comets, asteroids

Earth, Mars, Venus, Neptune and Uranus

Fell in love precisely with her

Who despises him and keeps him waiting

Verse 3

It turns out the sun didn't accept it

He went to ask the wind to help him

But the wind didn't even stop

Since it had no time to chat

The sun, not knowing what else to do

So much love to give

Started to cry

And to melt

It started to rain, and to soak

And to darken

Chorus 2

The sun asked the moon to marry him

And the moon said

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Give me some time

The sun asked the moon to marry him

And the moon said

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Give me some time

And 24 hours went by and again the sun set, the moon rose

And again and again and again

Chorus 2

The sun asked the moon to marry him

And the moon said

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Give me some time

The sun froze his heart

Postchorus 2

If the moon doesn't want you, that's ok

You're handsome, man, and your glow goes way beyond!

One day you'll find someone

Who'll surely love you too

SONG MEANING

“O Sol E A Lua” turns the entire sky into a romantic comedy. ☀️ The ever-glowing Sun falls head-over-heels for the cool, distant Moon and keeps popping the question, bragging that his love has lasted since the age of dinosaurs. The Moon, unimpressed by this sweaty fireball that never even takes a bath, keeps replying “Não sei… me dá um tempo” (“I don’t know… give me some time”). Their cosmic push-and-pull repeats every 24 hours, mirroring sunrise and sunset, and the poor Sun melts into literal tears that become rain when his proposal is rejected yet again.

Behind the playful dialogue lies a lesson about unrequited love, resilience, and self-esteem. The song reminds us that even the brightest star can’t force a “yes,” and that waiting forever for the wrong person can leave you drained. In the end, a friendly voice reassures the Sun — and anyone listening — that there’s someone out there who will love your shine just as it is. It’s a lighthearted fable set to music, perfect for practicing Portuguese while pondering the ups and downs of cosmic crushes.
