Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Enquanto Você Dormia by Projota from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

While you were sleeping I’d get up and leave for work

I’d write a good-morning note to leave for you

I’d throw on the first clothes I found in there

I’d gulp down bread with butter and a passion-fruit juice

I’d shower with no you there to mess it up

I’d lie back one more minute to ease the longing

I’d give you a light kiss on the face so you wouldn’t wake up

And say I love you without you being able to hear

Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well

You can dream, ’cause I know dreaming feels good

I’ll give you a reason to dream too

Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well

Verse 2

I’d think of you a bit alone at the bus stop

I got in, spun the turnstile and sat in the back

Headphones on, bumping only my badass raps

Some other girl stared and I didn’t even pay attention

I reached my job already wanting to leave

Your scent on my clothes but you weren’t there

I opened the drawer that made me smile because

There was a photo I took while watching you sleep

Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well

You can dream, ’cause I know dreaming feels good

I’ll give you a reason to dream too

Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well

Verse 3

I clocked out, left, happiness in my eyes

I stopped and bought the prettiest flower to please you

I loaded fifteen in credit and turned on the cell

To see if you’d gotten off work and were making dinner

I burst into the house and threw you on the couch

Made love to you till my legs went weak

I hugged you, gave you my lap to cuddle you

And told you how much I love you till I watched your eyes close

Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well

You can dream, ’cause I know dreaming feels good

I’ll give you a reason to dream too

Then I’d look at you to see if you were sleeping well

SONG MEANING

Projota paints a cinematic picture of everyday devotion. The narrator slips out of bed while his partner is still dreaming, racing through a humble morning routine—pão com manteiga, maracujá juice, a hurried bus ride—with one thought in mind: her. Even when he is surrounded by strangers, booming rap in his headphones, and the hum of work, every little detail circles back to the woman peacefully sleeping at home. A photo in his desk drawer, the lingering scent of her perfume, and the promise of a flower on the way home all keep their love glowing in the background.

By nightfall, that quiet adoration bursts into full-blown affection: surprise flowers, playful sofa dives, and whispered "te amo" until her eyes close once more. The song celebrates the poetry hidden in routine tasks and proves that true romance often lives in small gestures—checking if someone sleeps well, saving up phone credit, or finding joy in a simple snapshot. "Enquanto Você Dormia" is a tender reminder that love can turn the most ordinary day into a reason to dream big.
