Ouvi, senti o corpo a carregar
Seguimos assim, um e outro, um e outro, um e outro
Sou queda livre, aviso quando lá chegar
Entrego-me aqui, pouco a pouco
Passos largos, presa na partida
Quero largar o que me deixou ferida
Peço à estrela-mãe que faça o dia nascer de novo
(Ainda arde) Transformei cada verso de mim
(Ainda arde) E entregue à coragem que ainda arde, ainda arde
Bate a luz no peito e abre
Sou chama que ainda arde, ainda ardе, ainda arde
Hoje eu quеro provar a mim mesma
Que posso ser o que eu quiser (Que eu quiser)
Juntar quem me quer bem numa mesa
Perdoar quem me quis ver sofrer
A mim não me enganam (Não, não)
Eu sou todo o tamanho (Sou)
Ainda lembro quando era pequena
Eu sonhava primeiro
Passo largos, presa na partida
Hoje eu largo aquilo que me deixou ferida
E peço à estrela-mãe que faça o dia nascer de novo
(Ainda arde) Transformei cada verso de mim
(Ainda arde) E entregue à coragem que ainda arde, ainda arde
Bate a luz no peito e abre
Sou chama que ainda arde, ainda arde, ainda arde
Sou chama que ainda arde, ainda arde
Sou chama que ainda arde, ainda arde
Arde, arde, arde
Transformei cada verso de mim
E entregue à coragem que ainda arde, ainda arde
Bate a luz no peito e abre
Sou chama que ainda arde, ainda arde, ainda arde
I heard, I felt the body carrying
We continue like this
One and another, one and another, one and another
I'm free falling, I'll let you know when I get there
I surrender here, little by little
Long strides, stuck in the starting line
I want to let go of what left me wounded
I ask the Mother Star to make the day rise again
(It still burns) I transformed every verse of me (It still burns)
And surrendеr to the courage that still burns, still burns
Hit the light on your chеst and open it
I'm the flame that still burns, still burns, still burns
Today I want to prove myself
That I can be whatever I want (Whatever I want)
Bring together those who love me at a table
Forgive anyone who wanted to see me suffer
They don't fool me (No, no)
I'm every size (I am)
I still remember when I was little
I dreamed first
Long strides, stuck in the starting line
Today I let go of what left me wounded
And I ask the Mother Star to make the day rise again
(It still burns) I transformed every verse of me (It still burns)
And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns
Hit the light on your chest and open it
I am a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns
I am a flame that still burns, still burns
I am a flame that still burns, still burns
Burn, burn, burn
I transformed every verse of me
And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns
Hit the light on your chest and open it
I am a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns
