Uma Chance
Moptop Lyrics

The lyrics to Moptop's song "Uma Chance" express a sense of urgency and restlessness in the singer's desire to move forward and take action in their life. The opening lines, "Não espere, eu tenho que partir / Tenho pressa, cansei de não agir" (Don't wait, I have to leave / I'm in a hurry, tired of not acting) suggest a feeling of being held back or stagnant, and a need to break free from that in order to pursue something more meaningful.

The singer expresses frustration at their own attempts to contain and suppress these feelings, with lines such as "Tentei esquecer / Tentei conter / Agora tentei esconder e me entorpecer de calma" (I tried to forget / I tried to contain it / Now I'm trying to hide and numb myself with calmness). This sense of inner turmoil is juxtaposed with a longing for something more powerful and fulfilling, as expressed in the repeated refrain of "Se Deus lhe desse só uma chance / De conquistar o seu império, o seu castelo" (If God gave you just one chance / To conquer your empire, your castle).

Throughout the song, the singer implores others not to hold them back or try to calm them down, with lines like "Não me peça pra manter a calma / Não tente me impedir" (Don't ask me to stay calm / Don't try to stop me). The song seems to be a plea for the courage to take risks and pursue one's dreams without fear or hesitation.
