Este Seu Olhar
Alcione Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Esse seu olhar
Quando encontra o meu
Fala de umas coisas
Que eu nem posso acreditar

Doce é sonhar e pensar que você
Gosta de mim, como eu de você
Mas a ilusão, quando se desfaz
Dói no coração de quem sonhou
Sonhou demais




Ah! Se eu pudesse entender
O que dizem os teus olhos

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alcione's song "Este Seu Olhar" talks about the feelings of a person who is dreamy and hopeful about being loved. The person's eyes meet with the eyes of their lover, and their gaze hints at some unknown feeling that the person can't believe is directed at them. The person relishes in the sweet feeling of dreaming and hoping that their lover reciprocates their feelings.


However, the illusion is shattered when they realize that their lover's eyes were not directed towards them, but someone or something else. The heartbreak is intense, and it pains the person who had dreamt of a beautiful relationship with their lover. Despite the bitter feeling, the person can't help but stay mesmerized by their lover's look, wondering what their eyes meant and what they were trying to say.


The lyrics of the song portray the universal feelings of love, heartbreak, and hope. The lyrics stress on the notion that sometimes we can only live in a beautiful illusion that shatters our hearts in the end, but we shouldn't stop dreaming and hoping for a beautiful future.


Line by Line Meaning

Esse seu olhar
Your gaze


Quando encontra o meu
When it meets mine


Fala de umas coisas
Speaks of things


Que eu nem posso acreditar
That I can't even believe


Doce é sonhar e pensar que você
Sweet it is to dream and think that you


Gosta de mim, como eu de você
Like me, as I do of you


Mas a ilusão, quando se desfaz
But the illusion, when it unravels


Dói no coração de quem sonhou
Hurts the heart of the one who dreamed


Sonhou demais
Dreamed too much


Ah! Se eu pudesse entender
Oh! If only I could understand


O que dizem os teus olhos
What your eyes are saying
