é preciso perdoar
Ambitious Lovers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Você vai me abandonar
Eu sinto que o perdão
você não mereceu
Eu quis a ilusão
agora a dor sou eu
Ah, madrugada já rompeu
Eu sinto que o perdão
você não mereceu
Eu quis a ilusão
agora a dor sou eu
Pobre de quem entendeu
que a beleza de amar é se dar
e só querendo pedir
nunca soube o que é perder pra encontrar
Eu sei…
que é preciso perdoar
Foi você quem me ensinou
que um homem como eu
Que tem por que chorar
Só sabe o que é sofrer
se o pranto se acabar
Pobre de quem entendeu
que a beleza de amar é se dar
e só querendo pedir
nunca soube o que é perder pra encontrar
Eu sei…
The lyrics of Ambitious Lovers' song E Preciso Perdoar (translated in English as "It is necessary to forgive") speaks about the painful process of forgiveness in a relationship. The singer sets the scene at the dawn of a new day, implying that the relationship is coming to an end. He expresses his realization that despite wanting to believe in the illusion of a perfect love, he is now the one in pain. He acknowledges that his partner did not deserve forgiveness and he had to pay the price for holding on to that illusion.
The chorus of the song voices the lesson learned from this experience - that forgiveness is necessary even when it seems undeserved. The singer acknowledges that it was his partner who taught him the importance of forgiveness. He then reflects on the idea that a man like him, who has every reason to cry, can only truly understand suffering when the tears have dried.
Overall, E Preciso Perdoar is a reflection on the complexities of love and relationships that end in pain. The lyrics offer a mature perspective on the need for forgiveness, even in difficult situations.
