Como Vês
Alice Caymmi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu não sou ninguém
Até a hora de acordar
Até mais além
Ele quer me destruir
Eu não sou ninguém
Até a hora de acordar
Até mais além
Como vês o amor vai carregar as coisas na hora que ele chegar
Vai levar tudo que conseguir, chutando as paredes que eu construí
Ele quer me destruir
Eu não sou ninguém
Até a hora de acordar
Até mais além
Como vês o amor vai desbotar as cores nas fotos que ele tocar
Vai levar no vento que soprar os dias, os meses e o que virá
Como vês o amor vai carregar as coisas na hora que ele chegar
Vai levar tudo que conseguir chutando as paredes que eu construí
Como vês o amor vai desbotar as cores nas fotos que ele tocar
Ele quer me destruir
Eu não sou ninguém
Até a hora de acordar
Até mais além
Como vês o amor vai carregar as coisas na hora que ele chegar
Vai levar tudo que conseguir, chutando as paredes que eu construí
Como vês o amor vai desbotar as cores nas fotos que ele tocar
Vai levar no vento que soprar os dias, os meses e o que virá
The lyrics of Alice Caymmi's "Como Ves" explore the vulnerability and powerlessness one can feel when in the face of love. The singer feels as though their partner is out to destroy them, which leaves them feeling like they are nobody until they can wake up from this nightmare. The repetition of these lines creates a sense of hopelessness and desperation. The singer knows that love will come and it will take everything with it, destroying the walls they have built up around them.
The chorus begins with "Como ves," which directly translates to "how do you see." Here, the singer is addressing the listener and asking them to consider the way love operates. The lyrics suggest that love will come and take everything with it, including the memories and the good times the singer holds dear. The line "vai desbotar as cores nas fotos que ele tocar" (will fade the colors in the photos it touches) is a poignant image, suggesting that the memories themselves will start to lose their vibrancy and fade away as love takes hold.
Overall, "Como Ves" is a powerful exploration of the fear and uncertainty that comes along with love. It highlights the way that love can completely overturn a person's life and leave them feeling powerless, even as it also holds the potential for great happiness and fulfillment.
