~~~~~ Lyrics provided by RTP ~~~~~

Ai Coração que não me deixas em paz
Não me dás sossego, não me deixas capaz
Tenho a cabeça e a garganta num nó
Que não se desfaz e nem assim tu tens dó

Sinto-me tonta, cada dia pior
Já não sei de coisas que sabia de cor
As pulsações subiram quase pra mil
Estou louca, completamente senil

O peito a arder, a boca seca eu sei lá
O que te fazer, amor pra mim assim não dá
Porque parece que nem sou mais eu
Ai coração, ai coração, diz-me lá se és meu

As horas passam e o sono não vem
Ouço as corujas e os vizinhos também
O meu juízo foi-se e por lá ficou
Alguém me tire deste estado em que estou

O doutor diz que não há nada a fazer
Caso perdido, vi-o eu a escrever
Ando perdida numa outra dimensão
Toda eu sou uma grande confusão

O peito a arder, a boca seca eu sei lá
O que te fazer, amor pra mim assim não dá
Porque parece que nem sou mais eu
Ai coração, ai coração, ai coração, diz-me lá se és meu

O peito a arder, a boca seca eu sei lá
O que te fazer, amor pra mim assim não dá
Porque parece que nem sou mais eu
Ai coração, ai coração, ai coração, ai coração,
diz-me lá se és meu

~~~~~ Lyrics (English) provided by RTP ~~~~~

Oh heart that won't let me be
You won't give me peace, you leave me unfit!
My head and throat are circling around
That won't undo itself, and yet you feel no sympathy!

I feel dizzy, and every day worse
I don't know things that I used to know!
My pulse is racing like mad
I feel crazy, totally senile!

My chest is burning, my mouth is dry, what’s happening to me?
What to do love, I can´t do it like this!
Because I don´t even feel like myself,
Oh heart, oh heart
Tell me if you are mine?

Hours go by and I can't sleep,
I hear the owls and my neighbours too!
My mind is gone, and it got lost in there,
Somebody please snap me out of this!
The Doctor says there's nothing to be done,
“Lost cause”, I saw him writing!
I’m lost in another dimension,
I am now a huge mess!

My chest is burning, my mouth is dry, what’s happening to me?
What to do Love, I can´t do it like this!
Because I don´t even feel like myself,
Oh heart, oh heart, oh heart
Tell me if you are mine?

My chest is burning, my mouth is dry, what’s happening to me?
What to do Love, I can´t do it like this!
Because I don´t even feel like myself,
Oh heart, oh heart, oh heart, oh heart...
Tell me if you are mine?

As a portuguese, I’m really proud of our entry this year. It definitely represents my country and shows a bit of our culture, so I couldn’t be happier to have Mimicat at Eurovision ❤️
No matter the result you already made us all proud, VAMOS PORTUGAL 🇵🇹🙌

[T.A.P.O.]

This music is a work of art. The attention to detail is incredible.

[cattmono]

A Portuguese woman here 👆 This song represents our culture so well. Mimicat is an absolute genius when it comes to the lyrics of the song and the melody itself. Please vote for Portugal!

[lucas]

I was just lamenting the other day how Portuguese entries never include music videos. And then Mimicat swoops in to save the day ❤💃🏽💃🏼💃🏽

[edgarfreire]

100% original 100% portuguese I never get tired of listening to this song❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[dameanebulia]

Mimicat's voice and the Portuguese language are a pleasure to the ears! Much love and 12 points from France 🇫🇷❣️🇵🇹

[GergoMarosvari]

I think she will be this year's dark horse. I remember that when she won the Festival de Cancao I was not a big fan of this song, but nowadays I can't stop listening to this masterpiece!
Go Mimicat, go Portugal, good luck and greetings from Hungria! 🙂

[benjaminblackburn]

Portugal can win Eurovision Song Contest this year 2023 for the 2nd time after their 1st victory in 2017 with Salvador Sobral and his Song Amar Pelos Dois. 12 points from France to Portugal
