Sandra
Adelino Nascimento Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Existem momentos na vida que lembramos até morrer
Ouvindo esta música eu conheci um alguém
Que o destino não me deu o direito de ter
Tivemos apenas uma noite de amor e nada mais
E você me falou tantas coisas bonitas sobre o nosso
Amor
Sandra, onde está você que nunca vem
Sandra, onde está você que nunca vem
Parece até que você já tem outro alguém
The lyrics of "Sandra" by Adelino Nascimento tell a story of a lost love that the singer cannot seem to forget. The opening lines, quoting the famous Brazilian singer Amado Batista, highlight the idea that there are certain moments in life that we remember until the end. The singer then reveals that he met someone through this song, but unfortunately, fate did not allow them to be together. They only had one night of love, during which the other person told the singer so many beautiful things about their love. However, suddenly, they forgot everything and seemed to move on with their life.
The chorus of the song repeatedly asks "Sandra, onde está você que nunca vem?" which translates to "Sandra, where are you that never comes?" This suggests that the singer has been waiting for this person to come back, but they never do. It seems like the other person has moved on and possibly found someone new, leaving the singer heartbroken and alone. The lyrics are full of longing, regret, and sadness, as the singer reflects on a lost opportunity to be with the person he loved.
Overall, "Sandra" is a poignant reminder of how love can be fleeting, and even the most beautiful moments can fade away into nothing. It also highlights the bittersweet pain of remembering someone who is no longer a part of our lives, and the hope that one day they might come back.

Existem momentos na vida que lembramos até morrer

Ouvindo esta música eu conheci um alguém
Listening to this song, I met someone
Que o destino não me deu o direito de ter

And you told me so many beautiful things about our love
De repente você se esqueceu e de nada lembrou
Suddenly, you forgot everything and remembered nothing

Parece até que você já tem outro alguém
It seems like you already have someone else
