O Sol by Vitor Kley — Chorus

E toda vez que você sai

And every time you go out

Note how 'você' is a common form of 'you' in Brazil and Portugal.

Social interactions often revolve around visiting friends and family, which reflects strong community ties.

O mundo se distrai

The world gets distracted

Again, observe the reflexive nature of 'se distrai', which personifies 'the world'.

Portrays a poetic view of how personal actions affect the greater environment.

E toda vez que você sai, o mundo se distrai

And every time you go out, the world gets distracted

Here, 'sai' is a present tense form of 'sair', meaning 'to go out'.

Captures the sentiment of personal influence on one's surroundings—a poetic view many Portuguese hold.

Quem ficar, ficou

Whoever stays, stays

Repetition in both verb and tense is a rhythmic choice here.

Celebrates the acceptance of circumstances.

Quem foi, vai vai

Whoever went, goes goes

'Foi' is the past tense of 'ir', meaning 'to go'. Repetition emphasizes the certainty of going.

Emphasizes a dynamic between staying and moving on—a universal theme.

Quem ficar, ficou, quem foi, vai vai

Who stays, stays, who left, goes goes

Notice how the verbs stay in their base form but imply past action with 'foi' and future continuation with 'vai'.

Captures a sense of resolution and acceptance within relationships.

Toda vez que você sai

Every time you go out

'Toda vez' means 'every time', a phrase used frequently in Portuguese.

Indicates routine and the importance of habits in daily life.

Toda vez que você sai o mundo se distrai

Every time you leave, the world gets distracted

Similar structure to previous sentences, reinforcing the pattern and poetic cadence.

Highlights the impact of personal actions in Portuguese storytelling.

Quem foi, vai vai vai

Whoever went, goes goes goes

Yet again, repetition strengthens the statement, accentuating rhythm.

Conveys a sense of inevitability with a cultural nod to embracing change.
