Domingo
Arthur Matos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E nem sequer me perguntou como estou
Ontem, não se compara ao hoje
Que dá a chance de mudar, recomeçar
Não sei porque partiu sem botar fé
Não te fiz nada, não sei "qualé"
E a cada manhã, eu acordo menos são
Mate antes que seja tarde
O seu orgulho e ambição, não perca o chão
To aqui ouvindo Neil Young
E alguns blues pra ver se bate, domingo a tarde
Não sei porque partiu sem botar fé
Não te fiz nada, não sei "qualé"
Você sequer mediu o meu sufoco
E a cada manhã, eu acordo menos são
In the first two lines of Arthur Matos's song Domingo, the singer declares that they saw the person they are addressing and felt powerless, but the person did not even bother to ask how they were. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is about the confusion and frustration that comes with a relationship ending unexpectedly. The singer goes on to compare the past and the present, saying that yesterday is nothing compared to today because there is always a chance to change and start over.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the person who left should have had more faith in the singer and not left them in a state of distress. The singer then urges the person to let go of their pride and ambition before it's too late. The final verse of the song speaks to the singer's current state of mind, as they listen to Neil Young and some blues, hoping to find a way to cope with their sadness on a Sunday afternoon.
Overall, Domingo is a poignant song about the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. The lyrics are emotional and relatable, and the combination of acoustic guitar and Matos's smooth voice make for a powerful performance.

Te vi, aperriado me vi
You saw me, I felt miserable and stressed
E nem sequer me perguntou como estou
And you didn't even ask how I'm doing
Ontem, não se compara ao hoje
Yesterday can't be compared to today
Que dá a chance de mudar, recomeçar
Today gives us the chance to change, to start over
Não sei porque partiu sem botar fé
I don't know why you left without believing in me
Não te fiz nada, não sei "qualé"
I didn't do anything to you, I don't know what's going on
Você sequer mediu o meu sufoco
You didn't even measure my distress
E a cada manhã, eu acordo menos são
And every morning, I wake up less sane
Mate antes que seja tarde
Kill your pride and ambition before it's too late
O seu orgulho e ambição, não perca o chão
Don't lose your footing due to your pride and ambition
To aqui ouvindo Neil Young
I'm here listening to Neil Young
E alguns blues pra ver se bate, domingo a tarde
And some blues to see if they resonate on a Sunday afternoon
Não sei porque partiu sem botar fé
I don't know why you left without believing in me
Não te fiz nada, não sei "qualé"
I didn't do anything to you, I don't know what's going on
Você sequer mediu o meu sufoco
You didn't even measure my distress
E a cada manhã, eu acordo menos são
And every morning, I wake up less sane
