Amalia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Foram-te longe encerrar
Por teu livre pensamento
Foram-te longe encerrar
Tão longe que o meu lamento
Não te consegue alcançar
E apenas ouves o vento e apenas ouves o mar
Levaram-te a meio da noite
A treva tudo cobria
Levaram-te a meio da noite
A treva tudo cobria
Foi de noite, numa noite
De todas a mais sombria
Foi de noite, foi de noite
E nunca mais se fez dia
Ai, dessa noite o veneno
Persiste em me envenenar
Ai, dessa noite o veneno
Persiste em me envenenar
Oiço apenas o silêncio
Que ficou em teu lugar
Ao menos ouves o vento ao menos ouves o mar
Ao menos ouves o vento ao menos ouves o mar
The lyrics to Amalia's song "Abandono" reflect the feelings of abandonment and loss. The singer laments the fact that someone they care about has been taken away and confined due to their free-thinking nature. They express the pain of not being able to reach or communicate with this person who is now far away. The imagery of the wind and the sea serve as reminders of the person's distant presence, as the singer imagines that at least they can hear these natural elements. The lyrics also describe how this person was taken in the middle of the night, during the darkest of times, which adds a sense of mystery and despair to the song. The night becomes a symbolic representation of the void left behind, with the poison of that night still affecting the singer's soul.
Overall, "Abandono" portrays themes of separation, yearning, and the lingering effects of loss. It carries a sense of helplessness and longing to be reunited or at least find solace in knowing that the person can hear the same wind and sea that the singer does.

Por teu livre pensamento
Because of your free thinking
Foram-te longe encerrar
They took you far away
Tão longe que o meu lamento
So far that my lament
Não te consegue alcançar
Can't reach you
E apenas ouves o vento e apenas ouves o mar
And you only hear the wind and only hear the sea
Levaram-te a meio da noite
They took you in the middle of the night
A treva tudo cobria
Darkness covered everything
Foi de noite, numa noite
It was at night, on one of the darkest nights
De todas a mais sombria
Of all, the most somber
Foi de noite, foi de noite
It was at night, it was at night
E nunca mais se fez dia
And the day never came again
Ai, dessa noite o veneno
Oh, the poison of that night
Persiste em me envenenar
Persists in poisoning me
Oiço apenas o silêncio
I only hear the silence
Que ficou em teu lugar
That remained in your place
Ao menos ouves o vento ao menos ouves o mar
At least you hear the wind, at least you hear the sea
