Eu apenas queria que você soubesse [English translation]

I just wanted you to know

That I still feel that joy1

And that my tenderness didn't get lost in the road

It didn't get lost in time, lost among the dust

I just wanted you to know

That this girl today is a woman

And that this woman is a girl

That harvested her fruit, the flowers of her road

I just wanted to tell

Everyone that likes me

That today I like myself way more

Because I understand myself way more as well

And that the attitude of starting over

Is daily, hourly2

Is in respecting your strength and your faith

Is in looking deep even your thumb3

I just wanted you to know

That this child is playing in this circle4

And is not afraid of how the new wounds cut

Because he5 has the health he learned with life

1. Poetical interpretation of the line2. You start over each day, each hour3. The big toe in your feet - I don't know the English word for it4. 'Roda' is a kind of game where children gather in a circle in order to do something5. 'Criança' is a feminine noun in Portuguese, but as the singer is a man, I translated it as 'he'
