A Salvação Lyrics (English Translation) – Prodígio x Valete

A Salvação (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Prodígio & Valete]
This intro feels like a casual shout-out to places and people while setting a laid-back but alert mood. It sounds like they’re saying everything is happening nonstop, the hustle never closes, and they’re in the middle of it all. Even with the playful tone, there’s a clear sense of awareness. They already know who’s against them, so even in the middle of everyday noise, they stay sharp and ready.

[Verse 1: Valete]
Here, the rapper speaks like he’s standing inside chaos, refusing to run from the challenges that others avoid. He talks about artists who try to hide their struggles behind luxury brands, while his work is meant to take listeners on a deeper journey, not just entertain. He distances himself from soft or commercial music, saying his path is tough from start to finish, shaped by pain so heavy that he’s learned to laugh through it. He brings up dark feelings and heavy ideas, almost like salvation feels painful or dangerous, and he hints at how he’s earned respect even from people who normally wouldn’t believe in him. He downplays his own achievements and points out how people who act like intellectuals don’t always understand the truth. He suggests that real problems don’t appear without real causes, and his upbringing was surrounded by violence, struggle, and strong influences from his community. He criticizes institutions like the Church, saying the leadership lives comfortably while the poor cling to faith. He mentions how trying to rise above everything can still get you hurt, even if you act in self-protection. Using his own cultural roots, he points out that others follow old paths that are already broken. Then he calls out someone for being a symbol of failure at the moment, a person who reflects the misery around them. Overall, he’s showing a mix of personal history, social criticism, and the weight of seeing reality for what it is.

[Pre-Chorus: Valete]
Here he talks about how the system always wanted people to fight each other. He refuses to fall for that trap and stays focused on confronting the real problem. He’s fully aware of where danger comes from and keeps reminding himself who he should be watching out for.

[Chorus: Prodígio]
This part repeats the idea of staying aware. He keeps stressing that he clearly recognizes those who wish him harm and understands exactly where threats appear. It’s almost like a mantra, repeating it until the idea becomes unshakable. He’s not confused or guessing—he’s completely sure of what’s going on around him.

[Verse 2: Prodígio]
In this section, he talks about trying to reassure his psychologist by saying that simply being on his land gives him peace. He opens up about facing his struggles alone and dealing with emotional pain that felt like burying parts of himself. He wonders how he’s still standing after everything. He calls himself “radioactive,” meaning powerful and intense, even though he’s not constantly in the mainstream spotlight. He brings up how people ignored signs that others were copying or stealing ideas. Then he jokes about how being original feels forbidden nowadays because everything sounds the same, to the point where people can’t tell one artist from another. He compares his presence on a song to an explosive situation, like chaos immediately follows. Listeners expect big moments when he joins a track, and he confidently dismisses doubters. He even says the only way a song could top his work is by featuring another highly respected artist.
He pokes fun at someone he sees as small, saying he needs binoculars just to notice them. Their supposed power is fake, meant only for followers, and their outlook is limited. He believes the genre is struggling and the solutions people offer are useless. He talks about how heavy his lyrics are, comparing each one to an academic paper, and he uses bold, rough metaphors to show how fearless he is with his words. He jokes that he may be physically small, but his bank account is huge. He mentions dealing with headaches and how someone sacrificed for an elder, while he handled responsibilities on his own and later rewarded his mother. He compares social status with natural disasters, saying the other person is only big on social media while he shakes the ground in real life.

[Pre-Chorus: Valete]
He repeats that people have always been pushed to fight each other, but he keeps his attention on the real threat. He knows exactly where danger comes from and never forgets who he should be standing against.

[Chorus: Prodígio]
Here he strongly repeats that he fully recognizes who stands in his way and where threats are coming from. He’s not confused—he understands it all clearly. Then he adds a darker reflection, saying sometimes it feels like the path to being saved is painful or destructive, unless it comes through powerful music created with the right people.
