Maior Abandonado
Barão Vermelho Lyrics

The lyrics to Barão Vermelho's "Maior Abandonado" tell the story of a person who is lost and alone, seeking comfort and protection from the person they are addressing in the song. The opening lyrics, "Eu 'tô perdido sem pai nem mãe/Bem na porta da tua casa" (I'm lost without a father or mother/Right at your doorstep), suggest that this person has no family or support system and is seeking refuge from the person they are addressing.

The lyrics go on to describe the singer's interest in the scraps and leftovers from the person's life, saying "Migalhas dormidas do teu pão/Raspas e restos me interessam" (Sleepy crumbs from your bread/Scraps and leftovers interest me). They also express a desire for illusion and lies, saying "Pequenas poções de ilusão/Mentiras sinceras me interessam" (Small portions of illusion/Sincere lies interest me). This implies that the singer may be willing to accept less than honest or genuine treatment from the person they are addressing, as long as they receive some form of attention and protection.

The chorus, "Eu 'tô pedindo a tua mão/Me leve para qualquer lado/Só um pouquinho de proteção/Ao maior abandonado" (I'm asking for your hand/Lead me anywhere/Just a little bit of protection/For the greatest abandoned), reinforces this feeling of desperation and abandonment, as the singer pleads for any form of assistance and care from the person they are addressing.

Overall, the lyrics to "Maior Abandonado" paint a picture of a person who is lonely and vulnerable, seeking connection and protection from someone else, even if that connection comes in the form of scraps and lies.
