Breathe Lyrics in English Sara Tavares
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Breathe by Sara Tavares from Portuguese to English.
Emotion disering to be free
Emotion desiring to be free
Deep and still I wanna be, it's true, so true
Deep and still I wanna be, it's true, so true
A feeling is stealing up on me
A feeling is stealing up on me
Filling me up with a fire, it's true, so true
Filling me up with a fire, it's true, so true
(Chorus)
Chorus
The kind of light I'm letting in
The kind of light I'm letting in
Makes me breathe
Makes me breathe
The kind of light I'm letting in
The kind of light I'm letting in
Makes me breathe
Makes me breathe
A change in a way I wanna be
A change in a way I wanna be
Deep in my heart a part of me, it's true, so true
Deep in my heart a part of me, it's true, so true
It's true
It's true
(chorus)
Chorus
Lonlengue oya moinda
Child that is beautiful
Ekopessa bomoi
It will give life
Lonlengue oya moinda
Child that is beautiful
Ekopessa ngai bomoi
It will give me life

bomoi — life
Bomoi is a beautiful word from Lingala, a Bantu language spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and it means "life". Its inclusion in this song by Sara Tavares, a Portuguese singer of Cape Verdean descent, highlights the rich cultural tapestry of her music.
In the context of the song, it appears in the lines "Ekopessa bomoi / Ekopessa ngai bomoi," which translate to "It will give life / It will give me life." This word is particularly enticing because it's not Portuguese, offering a unique linguistic discovery for learners and showcasing the global influences in contemporary music.
