With Teleradio Donoso's breakup, Alex started to record tracks with a clear different style, without guitars and with a strong use of synthetizers. The project called «Odisea» finally releases its record in August 2010, with «Cabros» being its first promotional single.
In September 2011, Alex Anwandter releases a new single called «Tatuaje», this time abandoning his «Odisea» pseudonym and using his real name. On October 26th, 2011, Anwandter releases «Rebeldes», his second solo album and first one released with his real name.
Olha Maria
Alex Anwandter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu bem te queria
Fazer uma presa
Da minha poesia
Mas hoje, Maria
Pra minha surpresa
Pra minha tristeza
Precisas partir
Parte, Maria
Que estás tão bonita
Que estás tão aflita
Pra me abandonar
Sinto, Maria
Que estás de visita
Teu corpo se agita
Querendo dançar
Parte, Maria
Que estás toda nua
Que a lua te chama
Que estás tão mulher
Arde, Maria
Na chama da lua
Maria cigana
Maria maré
Parte cantando
Maria fugindo
Contra a ventania
Brincando, dormindo
Num colo de serra
Num campo vazio
Num leito de rio
Nos braços do mar
Vai, alegria
Que a vida, Maria
Não passa de um dia
Não vou te prender
Corre, Maria
Que a vida não espera
É uma primavera
Não podes perder
Anda, Maria
Pois eu só teria
A minha agonia
Pra te oferecer
Anda, Maria
Pois eu só teria
A minha agonia
Pra te oferecer
The song "Olha Maria" by Alex Anwandter is a beautiful composition expressing a sense of nostalgia and heartbreak. The lyrics describe the singer's desire to capture Maria's beauty and spirit within his poetry, only to realize that she must depart.

The imagery in the following lines captures the sense of longing and passion that the singer feels for Maria, describing her as "all naked" and "called by the moon" - a wild, untamable creature. In pleading with her to leave, the singer recognizes that life is fleeting and that Maria must pursue her own path, even if it means leaving him behind.
Overall, "Olha Maria" is a bittersweet love song that grapples with the realities of life and the passage of time.
