Sambalamento
Luiz Bonfá Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vai de braços com a beleza
Eu fico com a tristeza do amor

Quem viveu de ilusão
Sorrindo a própria dor, fui eu

Lamento o tempo de seus beijos
Lamento o tempo de seus braços

Vai de braços sem meus braços
Encontrarás amor e dor

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Luiz Bonfá's song Sambalamento express the pain of a person who has been left alone by the one they love. The first line, "Vai de braços com a beleza" (Go with beauty in your arms), refers to the person they love, who has chosen to leave them and be with someone else. The singer expresses their sorrow about being left alone with the sadness of love, as they sing "Eu fico com a tristeza do amor" (I'm left with the sadness of love).


As the song continues, the singer reveals that they have been living in an illusion and smiling through their own pain. They realize that they have been pretending to be happy, while their heart was breaking. The line "Quem viveu de ilusão, sorrindo a própria dor, fui eu" (Who lived in an illusion, smiling through their own pain, was me) speaks to this realization.


The last two lines of the song express the deep regret felt by the singer. They lament the time they spent in the arms of the one they love and now they will be going into the world without their embrace. They acknowledge that their former partner's new journey will include both love and pain - "Vai de braços sem meus braços, encontrarás amor e dor" (Go with arms without my arms, you'll find love and pain).


Overall, Sambalamento is a powerful song that captures the conflicting emotions and heartache of love lost.
