Dona de si Lyrics Translation in English

Tomou um café

Had a coffee

abriu o jornal

Opened the newspaper

Riu de tudo que

Laughed at everything

achava normal

Found normal

Ousou ir à pé, com

Dared to go on foot, with

chuva e sem sol

Rain and without sun

E não se importou

And didn't care

com a greve geral

About the general strike

Afinal…

After all...

Já não via mais razão pra correr

Didn't see a reason to rush anymore

E temer…

And fear...

Ela se sentia dona de si

She felt in control of herself

Quando o plano fracassou

When the plan failed

O céu não desabou

The sky didn't fall

O coração ainda insistia em pulsar

The heart still insisted on beating

Foi só ela perceber

It was just her realizing

Pro mundo oferecer

For the world to offer

Um novo caminho à frente a trilhar

A new path ahead to tread

Olhou no espelho a cor do batom

Looked in the mirror at the lipstick color

Tinha se esquecido o quanto era bom

Had forgotten how good it was

Sentir-se mulher, saber do seu dom

To feel like a woman, to know her gift

E não se importar com a solidão

And not care about loneliness

Sem senão…

Without hesitation...

Já não dava bola pro amanhã

Didn't pay attention to tomorrow anymore

O afã

The effort

Era só de ser mais dona de si

Was just to be more in control of herself

Quando o sonho terminou

When the dream ended

E a nuvem dispersou

And the cloud dispersed

O horizonte estava ainda maior

The horizon was even bigger

Foi só ela despertar

It was just her waking up

Pra nunca mais tentar

To never try again

Viver como quem sabe o futuro de cor

To live like someone who knows the future by heart
