Solidao
Antonio Carlos Jobim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sofro calada na solidão
Guardo comigo a memória do seu vulto em vão
Eu tudo fiz por você
E o resultado? Desilusão

O dia passa, a noite vem
A solução deste caso eu cansei de buscar
Eu vou rezar pra você me querer outra vez
Como um dia me quis
Quando a saudade apertar, não se acanhe comigo
Pode me procurar

O dia passa, a noite vem
A solução deste caso eu cansei de buscar

Eu vou rezar pra você me querer outra vez
Como um dia me quis
Quando a saudade apertar, não se acanhe comigo
Pode me procurar





Sofro calada

Overall Meaning

na solidão, I suffer silently in solitude, is a lamentation from a lover who has been abandoned. The singer is holding onto the memory of their love, but it is in vain as this person is no longer present. The next part of the verse shows how they had put in a lot of effort and work into this relationship, but the outcome was disappointment, which is causing them a lot of pain.


The singer then talks about how they have given up trying to solve the issue between them, and they choose to pray for the person to want them again. They long for their love to come back to them and not be ashamed to seek them out whenever they feel the pangs of longing. Reiterating that the solution to their suffering is not forthcoming, the same verse is repeated. There is a strong sense of heartbreak and despair in these lyrics, making the song an emotional lament of lost love.

O homem que fazia a musica chorar por ele.

just amoroso

É, é ruim pensar que o futuro que te aguarda é sem você e tudo que já conquistasses, mas é calmante em relembrar o passado onde tudo era melhor só com um sorriso, é maravilhoso, ter o presente.

This song makes me think of a person who was once very dear to me. It makes me extremely melancholic, but in a beautiful way. Thank you so much for this upload, seriously.

Vĩ Ngọc

This piece sounds utterly beautiful. There's just something really paradoxical about these notes. Thank you for uploading it.

That's bossa nova for you, my friend. A country filled with depression can make beautiful art

Can you elaborate what you meant by paradoxical about those notes?
