Quem dera
Alcione Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quem dera eu pudesse ter você pra mim
Dividir contigo o meu amor
E contigo aonde você for
O destino é tão cruel
Que me emprestou você
Uma vez, uma noite apenas

Queria ter você
Todo dia, toda hora
Pranto de amor não cega
Quando o amor vai embora, embora

Deitei com a saudade
Levantei com a lembrança
Doí demais não ter esperança
Toda vez que eu amo assim
Eu me sinto criança

Doí demais, doí demais
Não saber te esquecer
Somente morrendo de amor
Eu consigo viver, viver, viver

Doí demais
Não saber te esquecer
Somente morrendo de amor
Eu consigo viver

Doí demais, doí demais
Não saber te esquecer
Somente morrendo de amor
Eu consigo viver, viver, viver

Doí demais, doí demais
Não saber te esquecer




Somente morrendo de amor
Eu consigo viver

Overall Meaning

Alcione's song "Quem dera" is a hauntingly beautiful ballad about a forbidden love that is slowly tearing the singer apart. In the first verse, she sings of her desire to have the object of her affections all to herself, to share her love with him and follow him wherever he goes. However, she acknowledges the cruel hand of fate that has only given her one night with him. The second verse continues with her longing for him every day and hour, but she knows that tears of love cannot blind her when love is gone. She is left alone with memories that are painful to bear, wishing she had hope for the future. The bridge expresses the heart-wrenching pain of loving someone she cannot have, and the only way to continue living is by dying a little bit more each day.


The song captures the feelings of someone who is deeply in love but is unable to express their love or be with the person they love. It expresses the pain of unrequited love, the heartbreak of not being able to have what you want, and the despair of knowing that even though you cannot be with the person you love, you cannot forget them either. Alcione's soulful voice captures the raw emotion of the lyrics and makes it impossible not to feel deeply moved by the song's poignant message.
