Ana Luiza
Antonio Carlos Jobim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu posso penetrar no castelo
E galgar a muralha de onde se divisa
O vale, os prados, os matos, os montes
As flores, as fontes, Luiza
Ana Luiza, eu fiz esta canção pra você
Onde anda Luiza, Luiza, Luiza, Luiza
Por que me negas tanto assim a primavera
Se sabes que a última quimera
Existe no mundo de Ana Luiza
Primavera, Ana Luiza, teus olhos
Em que lago, em que serra, em que mar
Se oculta, escuta, Luiza
Na brisa uma canção fala em você
E pergunta, insiste em saber
Onde anda Luiza, Luiza, Luiza, Luiza, Luiza
Se eu te amo tanto
Quem há de resistir a todo encanto
Que existe, assiste, em Ana Luiza
Luiza
Ana Luiza, Ana Luiza, Ana Luiza, Ana Luiza
Ana Luiza, eu fiz esta canção pra você
Que pergunta, precisa saber
Onde anda
The lyrics in "Ana Luiza" by Antonio Carlos Jobim depict a man's unrequited love for someone named Ana Luiza. He dreams of sneaking into her castle and climbing the walls to be with her. The lyrics describe his admiration for her surroundings and beauty, but he is left with a sense of longing as she denies him the chance to experience the spring with her.
The song shifts from the man's perspective to a third-person perspective describing Ana Luiza's eyes and the various landscapes where they may be hiding. The chorus repeats several times in the hopes of finding out where Ana Luiza is and why they cannot be together, despite the man's infatuation with her.
"Ana Luiza" is a beautifully romantic song that speaks to love, loss, and the power of desire. The lyrics are filled with imagery and create a sense of longing and yearning in the listener. The song showcases Jobim's ability to write touching lyrics and create a smooth, steady melody.

Eu posso penetrar no castelo
I can enter the castle
E galgar a muralha de onde se divisa
And climb the wall from where you can see
O vale, os prados, os matos, os montes
The valley, the meadows, the woods, the mountains
As flores, as fontes, Luiza
The flowers, the fountains, Luiza
Ana Luiza, eu fiz esta canção pra você
Ana Luiza, I wrote this song for you
Que pergunta, precisa saber
Who asks, needs to know
Onde anda Luiza, Luiza, Luiza, Luiza
Where is Luiza, Luiza, Luiza, Luiza
Por que me negas tanto assim a primavera
Why do you deny me the spring so much
Se sabes que a última quimera
If you know that the last fantasy
Existe no mundo de Ana Luiza
Exists in the world of Ana Luiza
Primavera, Ana Luiza, teus olhos
Spring, Ana Luiza, your eyes
Em que lago, em que serra, em que mar
In what lake, what mountain range, what sea
Se oculta, escuta, Luiza
Do you hide, listen, Luiza
Na brisa uma canção fala em você
In the breeze a song speaks of you
E pergunta, insiste em saber
And asks, insists on knowing
Onde anda Luiza, Luiza, Luiza, Luiza, Luiza
Where is Luiza, Luiza, Luiza, Luiza, Luiza
Se eu te amo tanto
If I love you so much
Quem há de resistir a todo encanto
Who can resist all the charm
Que existe, assiste, em Ana Luiza
That exists, is present, in Ana Luiza
Ana Luiza, Ana Luiza, Ana Luiza, Ana Luiza
Ana Luiza, Ana Luiza, Ana Luiza, Ana Luiza
Ana Luiza, eu fiz esta canção pra você
Ana Luiza, I wrote this song for you
Que pergunta, precisa saber
Who asks, needs to know
Onde anda
Where is she

It's "Diadem" which is a fancy headband. Also, I believe this song was written by Jobim's son, Paolo.
