Aurora
Bolha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Olha o tempo agora,
Corre sem demora,
Vê lá se o deixar fugir
Pela vida fora,
Lembras a Aurora
E a Solidão que tarda em vir

Ai miss solidão

Nunca tive ninguém assim,
Se te esqueces do coração,
Então não serves para mim.
Ruas e vielas,
Fados, guitarradas,
E mais um copo,
Pode vir,
Noites mal passadas,

Histórias mal contadas,
E a solidão que tarda em ir...

The lyrics express the need for connection and the importance of keeping one's heart open. The reference to streets and alleys, as well as fados and guitarradas, traditional Portuguese music styles, adds to the overall sense of nostalgia and longing for human connection.

In the end, the song seems to suggest that even in the company of others, a sense of loneliness can persist. It is a reflection on the human experience, the passing of time, and the need for connections that transcend physical presence.
