Hoje Eu Chorei
Asa De Águia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que a felicidade
Morava no peito dava saudade
Fazia tão bem me tornei seu fã
Aquela camiseta velha
Que você usava
Pra mim era tudo dava vontade
De fazer amor até de manhã
E agora você foi embora
Me deixou sozinho amor
Sofrendo de dor e paixão
As vezes eu fico pensando
Em ligar pra você meu bem
Mas esse orgulho não tem perdão
Vai vai vai tristeza
Hoje eu chorei por amor
Volta logo pra mim meu bem
Não me deixe outra vez
A gente combinava em tudo não faltava nada
Até aquelas roupas
Que a gente usava
Eram da mesma cor
Dava pra perceber
Você me deixava leve
Até de madrugada
Deitava até dormir enquanto eu te ninava
E nesse vai e vem
Te dei meu coração
The lyrics of Asa de Águia's "Hoje Eu Chorei" talk about the pain of lost love and how the memories of the relationship bring both joy and sadness. The singer reminisces about how he used to believe that happiness lived inside him and that being in love with his partner brought him so much pleasure. He even talks about how the smallest of things, such as an old t-shirt, would give him a strong desire to make love until morning. However, the relationship ended, and now the singer is alone and suffering from the pain of love. He thinks about calling his love, but his pride gets in the way of doing so. The chorus highlights the sadness and yearning he feels for his love to come back to him and not leave him again.
The song's lyrical themes are relatable to anyone who has been in a long-term relationship that has ended painfully. The singer's yearning for his love to come back is something that everyone who has experienced heartbreak will relate to. The song's melody is upbeat and has a tropical feel typical of Brazilian music, but the lyrics reveal the opposite sentiment. The song's structure also builds up to the chorus, as the verses are slower, and the chorus is more upbeat.
