Se você pensa que eu não sou
Aquilo tudo que sonhou
Pois saiba que dói mais em mim
Saber você tão tola assim
O fato é que eu já comecei
A olhar em outra direção

Se todo mundo é mesmo gay

O mundo está na minha mão
Coração, coragem, pra qualquer viagem, pra qualquer sermão
Não deixe as roupas que eu rasguei te encobrirem de razão
Se você pensa que eu não sei

O tanto o quanto eu te ensinei
Pois saiba que só mesmo o amor
Pra te cegar como cegou
O fato é que eu já constatei

Nem tudo é mão ou contramão
Nosso desejo não tem lei
E o resto é pura ilusão
Coração, coragem, pra qualquer viagem, pra qualquer sermão

Não deixe as roupas que eu rasguei te encobrirem de razão
E o mundo gira devagar
E eu a frente dele a mil

Um dia eu vou te reencontrar
E te explicar o que feriu

Overall Meaning

“Na Minha Mão” is a song by Brazilian artist Marina Lima that reflects the pain of a relationship coming to an end, in which one of the parties cannot accept the love that the other person has to give. The song opens with a line that highlights the singer’s lack of self-confidence in the relationship, and subsequently transitions into the singer’s recognition that while she was dedicated to the relationship, her partner had not reciprocated the love that she had given.

The second verse of “Na Minha Mão” delves into the singer’s realization that she has to move on to different pastures, as the world and potential for love exists outside of this relationship that has held her back. She acknowledges that human desire is not subject to rules or regulations, suggesting that there are many different avenues to take when it comes to finding love. The song finishes with a heartbreaking confession that the singer still carries a candle for her former lover and wishes to explain what went wrong and hurt them.
