Passagem
Ana Laíns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sou eu que escrevo agora este poema
Já onde estou agora nada espero
Ouço o som que vem de estar aqui lembrando
Isto que sou agora mesmo esperando
É onde escuto agora a própria casa
É onde eu pouso a mão na terra calma
Mas não aqui nem além, agora só
Num tempo em que não sou mais que este estar
Passando sem passar neste deserto
É onde pouso a mão na terra calma
É onde agora ninguém me vem chamar
E outra luta prossegue imponderável
O tempo vai chegar mas eu aqui passei
Ou algo em mim passou quando o final chegar
Deste sem fim que escuto e oiço o seu passar
É onde escuto agora a própria casa
In Ana Laíns’s song Passagem, the lyrics are introspective and contemplative in nature. The singer of the song is reflecting on life and its passing nature. The songs suggest that the singer finds comfort in just being present in the moment and taking in their surroundings. They talk about listening to the sound of their own house, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for self-reflection.
The line “Sou eu que escrevo agora este poema” (I am the one writing this poem now) implies a sense of agency and control over the singer’s own life. They are the ones making the choices and deciding the course of their own future. The line “Ouço o som que vem de estar aqui lembrando” (I hear the sound that comes from being here remembering) suggests that the singer is reminiscing on their past, but they are still present in the moment.
As the song progresses, the lyrics imply that the singer has reached a certain stage in their life where they are not expecting anything else from it. They have come to terms with their existence and are at peace with just being. The lines “Ouvindo quantos anos já vivi / Mas não aqui nem além, agora só” (Listening to how many years I have lived / But not here or beyond, now only) suggests that the singer is aware of their own mortality but chooses to focus on the present rather than what lies beyond.
Overall, the song Passagem is an introspective and reflective piece that examines the transience of life and the beauty of simply being present in the moment.
