Seja o Que Quiser [English translation]

Be what you want to be

The important part is to be yourself

Be what you want to be

The important part is to be yourself

A heart, a direction

It's easy when the wheels never stop turning

Imagination, I composed on a whim1

Dreams make free the places where you must go

Put yourself out there and let things be

Put in effort, affection, love, sweat and tears2

Find yourself, get your bearings

Because life still has its best parts in store for you

Be what you want to be

The important part is to be yourself

Be what you want to be

The important part is to be yourself

What matters is being yourself

What matters is being yourself

Give it your all and give it time

Put in effort, affection, love, sweat and tears

Find yourself, get it straightened out3

Because life still has its best parts in store for you

Be what you want to be

The important part is to be yourself

Be what you want to be

The important part is to be yourself

What matters is being yourself

1. 'Sem razão', translated here as 'on a whim', means literally "without reason".2. Okay, so actually it just says 'sweat' (suor), but I wanted to get it closer to the phrase we use in English to mean "lots of hard work and sacrifice" ('blood, sweat, and tears'). Otherwise it just sounds weird and I was afraid people wouldn't quite get it.3. 'Se ajeita' can mean several things. It can mean 'to straighten/tidy' and also 'to get used to or adapt to something'.
