Ana Luiza
Antonio Carlos Jobim Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Supõe Ana Luiza se a guarda cochila
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

Que pergunta, precisa saber
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

Overall Meaning

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.

Imagine a scenario where Ana Luiza's guard is asleep

Eu posso penetrar no castelo

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

Why do you deny me the spring so much

Se sabes que a última quimera
If you know that the last fantasy
