LYRICS
Iolanda - "Grito" (Scream)
[Verse 1]
I heard, (I) felt, the body charging
We continued like that, one and another, one and another, one and another
I'm free falling, I'll let you know when I get there
I surrender here, little by little
[Pre-Chorus]
Long strides, chained in the (race) start
I want to let go of what left me hurt
I ask the mother star to make the day rise again
[Chorus]
(It still [Ainda] burns [Arde]) I transformed every verse of me (It still burns)
And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns
Hit the light on your chest and opens it
I am a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns
[Verse 2]
Today I want to prove myself
That I can be whatever I want (Whatever I want)
Bring together those who love me at a table
Forgive anyone who wanted to see me suffer
They don't fool me (No, no)
I'm every size (I am)
I still remember when I was little
(I was) the one who dreamed first
[Pre-Chorus]
Long strides, chained in the (race) start
I want to let go of what left me hurt
And I ask the mother star to make the day rise again
[Chorus]
(It still burns) I transformed every verse of me (It still burns)
And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns
Hit the light on your chest and open it
I am a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns
I am a flame that still burns, still burns
I am a flame that still burns, still burns
Burn, burn, burn
I transformed every verse of me
And surrender to the courage that still burns, still burns
Hit the light on your chest and open it
I am a flame that still burns, still burns, still burns
Thanks you very much ❤❤❤❤😊
BEST SONG of the Festival "Iolanda - 'Grito' (Scream)"- MY Analysis and English Lyrics (adaptation)
ANALYSIS:
"Grito", presents a compelling narrative of resilience, transformation, and self-empowerment. The song uses the metaphor of fire to symbolize the undying spirit of the protagonist, emphasizing themes of endurance, healing, and self-realization.
Themes like:
Vulnerability and Surrender: (sense of awareness and sensitivity, possibly hinting at the anticipation of change or the buildup of emotional energy. Speaks to letting go of control, a leap of faith into the unknown. This surrender isn't about giving up but about embracing the process of transformation).
Liberation: "I want to let go of what left me hurt" is a clear desire to release past pains and burdens. This act of letting go is necessary for healing and moving forward.
Renewal: for instance in asking the "mother star to make the day rise again" symbolizes a plea for rebirth, a fresh start, and the hope that comes with a new day.
Transformation: "I transformed every verse of me" indicates profound personal growth and change. The individual is not the same as before; She has evolved through her experiences.
Persistence: The repeated phrase "It still burns" emphasizes ongoing struggle and resilience. Despite challenges, her spirit and determination remain unquenched.
Self-assertion: "Today I want to prove myself / That I can be whatever I want" reflects a strong sense of self-belief and ambition. She is determined to define her own identity and future.
Forgiveness: "Forgive anyone who wanted to see me suffer" shows maturity and emotional liberation. Forgiveness is presented as a step towards healing and empowerment.
Resilience: The imagery of being a "flame that still burns" throughout the song symbolizes resilience in the face of adversity. She continues to shine and endure, regardless of past pains and challenges.
Self-empowerment: The journey from vulnerability to strength, from darkness to light, encapsulates the theme of self-empowerment. She actively transforms her pain into power, asserting control over her destiny.
Healing and Growth: The song portrays healing as an active and dynamic process. It's about moving through pain, embracing change, and growing stronger in the process.
Iolanda's 'Grito' (Scream), is a powerful anthem of perseverance, self-discovery, and empowerment. It encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities, let go of the past, and ignite their inner strength to face the future with courage and hope.

Grito
Ouvi, senti
O corpo a carregar
Seguimos assim
Um e outro
Um e outro
Um e outro
Sou queda livre
Aviso quando lá chegar
Entrego-me aqui
Pouco a pouco
Passos largos presa na partida
Quero largar o que me deixou ferida
Peço à estrela mãe que faça o dia
Nascer de novo
Transformei cada verso de mim
E entregue à coragem
Que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Bate a luz no peito e abre
Sou chama que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Ainda arde
Hoje eu quero provar a mim mesma
Que posso ser o que eu quiser
Juntar quem me quer bem numa mesa
Perdoar quem me quis ver sofrer
A mim não me enganam! (Não!)
Eu sou todo o tamanho
Ainda lembro quando era pequena
Eu sonhava primeiro
Passos largos presa na partida
Hoje eu largo aquilo que me deixou ferida
E peço à estrela mãe que faça o dia
Nascer de novo
Transformei cada verso de mim
E entregue à coragem
Que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Bate a luz no peito e abre
Sou chama que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Ainda arde
Sou chama que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Sou chama que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Arde
Arde
Arde
Transformei cada verѕo de mim
E entregue à coragem
Que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Bate a luz no peito e abre
Sou chama que ainda arde
Ainda arde
Ainda arde …
Translate
Shout
I heard, I felt
The body to carry
We continue like this
One and the other
One and the other
One and the other
I'm free falling
Let me know when you get there
I surrender here
Little by little
Long steps stuck in the match
I want to let go of what left me hurt
I ask the mother star to make the day
Born again
I transformed every verse of me
And give in to courage
That still burns
It still burns
Hit the light on your chest and open it
I am a flame that still burns
It still burns
It still burns
Today I want to prove myself
That I can be whatever I want
Bring together those who love me at a table
Forgive anyone who wanted to see me suffer
They don't fool me! (No!)
I'm all size
I still remember when I was little
I dreamed first
Long steps stuck in the match
Today I let go of what left me hurt
And I ask the mother star to make the day
Born again
I transformed every verse of me
And give in to courage
That still burns
It still burns
Hit the light on your chest and open it
I am a flame that still burns
It still burns
It still burns
I am a flame that still burns
It still burns
I am a flame that still burns
It still burns
Burn
Burn
Burn
I transformed every version of myself
And give in to courage
That still burns
It still burns
Hit the light on your chest and open it
I am a flame that still burns
It still burns
It still burns …

IOLANDA WINNER SWEDEN 2024 🇵🇹🤍🔥
Thanks for the Review and interest in Portuguese culture. Hug from Portugal. I would say that this song has a little bit of everything that is Portuguese. As for the styles, it has some clear "Fado", Epic and also some "Hip Hop" and modern choreography, but this is more than anything an Anthem of perseverance, self-discovery and resilience. It encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities, let go of the past, and awaken their inner strength to face the future with courage and hope. Here is the ANALYSIS of Iolanda's "Grito", Portugal's choice: "Grito", presents a compelling narrative of resilience, transformation and self-empowerment. The song uses the metaphor of fire to symbolize the protagonist's eternal spirit, emphasizing themes of endurance, healing, and self-realization. Topics such as:
Vulnerability and surrender: (sense of awareness and sensitivity, possibly suggesting the anticipation of change or the accumulation of emotional energy. It speaks of relinquishing control, a leap of faith into the unknown. This surrender is not about giving up, but about embracing the process of transformation.)
Liberation: "I want to get rid of what hurt me" is a clear desire to release past pains and burdens. This act of letting go is necessary for healing and advancement.
Renewal: For example, asking the "mother star to make the day rise again" symbolizes a call to rebirth, a new beginning, and the hope that comes with a new day.
Transformation: "I have transformed every verse of mine" indicates profound personal growth and change. The individual is not the same as before; She evolved through her experiences.
Persistence: The oft-repeated phrase "It still burns" emphasizes continued struggle and resilience. Despite the challenges, his spirit and determination remain unwavering.
Self-affirmation: "Today I want to prove my worth / That I can be anything I want to be" reflects a strong sense of self-confidence and ambition. She is determined to define her own identity and future.
Forgiveness: "Forgiving those who wanted to see me suffer" shows maturity and emotional liberation. Forgiveness is presented as a step toward healing and empowerment.
Resilience: The image of being a "flame that still burns" throughout the song symbolizes resilience in the face of adversity. It continues to shine and endure, regardless of the pains and challenges of the past.
Self-empowerment: The journey from vulnerability to strength, from darkness to light, sums up the theme of self-empowerment. She actively transforms her pain into power, taking control over her destiny.
Healing and Growth: The song portrays healing as an active and dynamic process. It's about overcoming pain, embracing change, and getting stronger in the process.
Iolanda's 'Grito' (Scream) is a powerful anthem of perseverance, self-discovery and empowerment. It encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerabilities, let go of the past, and awaken their inner strength to face the future with courage and hope.
