Falar De Nós’s Imagina Portuguese Lyrics English Meaning

The song opens with a gut-punch line: ‘A shot to the side, we only missed by a thread.’ Tau and Ribeiro weave vivid scenes—doors to hearts left open, lovers jumping through space-time—only to land on reality’s harsh truths. The chorus spins the title word ‘imagina’ like a spinning coin: hopeful on one side, heartbreaking on the other.

Tiro Ao Lado So Falhamos Por Um FioA shot wide of the mark, we failed by just a thread.
Apontamos Ao Desejo Sem PensarWe aimed for desire without stopping to think,
Que Nem Sempre Combinamos No CaminhoThat we don’t always match up along the way,
Num Detalhe Tudo Pode AcabarAnd everything can end over one small detail.
Rendo-me A VerdadeI surrender myself to the truth,
Perco A Tua MetadeI lose your half of this,
Mas Nao Deixo De Pensar Em NosBut I don’t stop thinking about us.
Imagina ImaginaImagine, just imagine.
Nos Os Dois Ficarmos Juntos Noutra VidaThe two of us staying together in another life,
Noutra Vida ImaginaIn another life, imagine.
Na Na Na Na NaNa na na na na.
Imagina Noutra VidaImagine it in another life.
A Porta Do Meu Coracao So Dizia Que Eras Bem-vindaThe door to my heart said you were always welcome,
Quebramos O Espaco E O TempoWe broke through space and time,
Mudamo-nos Para Outro MundoWe moved ourselves to another world,
Onde Encontramos Momento E Chegamos P’ra Tudo MasWhere we found the moment and managed it all, but…
Rendo-me A VerdadeI surrender myself to the truth,
Perco A Tua MetadeI lose your half of this,
Mas Nao Deixo De Pensar Em NosBut I don’t stop thinking about us.
