Eu disse Adeus á Casinha
Amália Rodrigues Lyrics

In Amália Rodrigues's song Eu disse Adeus á Casinha, the singer reflects on the regret and sorrow she feels after leaving her home and her lover. The opening line, "Eu disse adeus à casinha, meu bem," translates to "I said goodbye to the little house, my love." The singer then notes that the breakup was the result of bad timing and that she did not realize how much she would miss her former lover and their dwelling.

The song emphasizes the pain of loss and the longing for what once was. The singer speaks of saying goodbye to the kisses that she had grown accustomed to, as well as to the desires that came with them. She also mentions selling off some of their belongings, including a panel of old tiles with a depiction of Saint Anthony. The singer acknowledges that she said goodbye to love and happiness when she left, and that this decision was made impulsively, out of malice.

In the final stanza, the singer advises her lover not to follow her example of leaving without thinking twice, especially if he loves someone deeply. She suggests that it is better to remain quiet and express feelings openly, rather than to say goodbye and regret it later. Although the lyrics suggest a sense of finality and regret, the song ends on a hopeful note, inviting the listener to speak their mind and avoid lonely farewells.
