Fim
Cristina Branco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
São tão belos dentro do meu peito
Calou-se a madrugada nos meus olhos
Por isso a noite me envolveu assim
Com esta dor que é asa de punhal
Com este grito de um amor sem fim, num amor sem fim
Amor sem fim, amor sem tempo e sem medida
Água que brota ao longe da nascente
Luz que amanhece sem anoitecer
Amor que quer ser brisa e é vendaval
Amor que quer ser chuva e é temporal
Que é tudo ou nada e tudo há de perder
Tudo há de perder
Em tudo há de perder
In Cristina Branco's song Fim, the singer proclaims the feeling of pain and loss that is consuming her. She states that neither birds, stars nor sailboats can match the beauty of what she is experiencing. The dawn has been silenced in her eyes, and that is why the night has enveloped her in such a way. The pain cuts through her like the wings of a dagger or the scream of an endless love. She then sings about love that is without end, time, or measure and compares it to water that springs from a distance, light that never fades, and love that desires to be gentle but is ferocious in its strength. The love that wants to be a light breeze but ends up being a gale, or the love that wants to be rain but becomes a storm that engulfs everything. The love that is everything or nothing but must eventually lose everything.
The song Fim deals with the difficulty of loss and how it can make a person feel nihilistic. The songs mention of birds, stars, and sailboats are all natural elements that represent beauty, freedom, and hope, which the singer no longer recognizes. The dawn, which often symbolises new beginnings, has been silenced and replaced by the night of pain. The love that the song speaks of is one that is characterized by its extremes, evoking a sense of both hope and despair. The song leaves us with an impression of a person who has been through a great tragedy and is trying to express the contradictory feelings that come with it.
